Maybe a Citrus Pelt? Ì admire the seam on it, very crisp

I believe it's nickname is "dragon" if it's a Peltier. It looks good for a Peltier.

I agree with Stephen.  

Peltier Dragon.  

An NLR.

 

As a side note, I think the seam arrangement is what has been called a "Type III".  Do the ribbons form one continuous loop, like the stitching on a baseball?  Instead of forming two separate rings? 

That's not a common pattern.

Thanks Stephen and Steph

Yes it is a continuous loop. Giving it the baseball look. Great analogy.

I am going to have to dig deeper into those seam categorys.i am  not familiar with them.

I read about the categories in Bob Block's Price Guide.  Maybe he came up with the numbers.  I don't know.  The numbers aren't in common use.  For Type I and Type II NLR's, those are common patterns, so we just say NLR and don't give the pattern much thought.   I think the Type IV is what we call a Broken Cork, which is more remarkable.  But we  call it a Broken Cork ... so it doesn't need a number. 

The Type III is an unusual pattern, but it never got a name that I know of, so its name became Type III.  

 

(p.s. Wanna see a nice display of broken cork ribbons?  ... check this out:  http://marbleconnection.com/topic/6786-mostly-pix-peltier/?do=findComment&comment=189627)
