Marbleneophyte Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thoughts about this one? I'm hoping that's a turkey I see in photo 1. The light washes out the hairline stripes, but looking at them with a jewelers loop they're a brownish red. Oxblood?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 That's called horsehair oxblood. A "turkey" or "turkey head" is a name reserved for Christensen Agates. Your marble would be a West Virginia Swirl of some kind so it wouldn't be called a turkey even though, yeah, that's pretty much the shape the turkey head would take on a Christensen. As to which West Virginia swirl company may have made it, I think people usually say Alley or Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Not very hard to find. But not as common as an All-Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 By the pattern I would say Alley. Worth about $1.00 - $3.00 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
