Woodse Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Is this an oxblood marble? I get confused between just red and oxblood. It does have the black in it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not Oxblood. Not black just thick dark red. Looks like it was dug, small lines, grooves, of abalone(silver looking). A reaction with some glass after being buried in the ground for a long time. Not all dug marbles do this or have this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodse Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 That's interesting to know. I have several that have these "grooves". I thought it was something in the production. Abalone as from a shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yes the name Abalone for marbles with the similar looking silver seen on shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
