Noodleloaf Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I had to over-expose the pic to get the oxblood to show, so it is much prettier in person. I'm thinking it is an MF Christensen green brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Pretty. I would enjoy seeing the unexposed version too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleloaf Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Here are a couple pics in natural sunlight. I think I need to get a macro lens - getting good closeups is tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some more detailed pics, size, etc. would help rule out some of the other possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleloaf Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Here are the add'l pics - the size of the marble is 0.65 inches. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Encouraging to see the cutline on there, rather than a Bulgarian pontil, lol. It's a nice marble no doubt. Either the glass looks newer or the super-mint surface reflecting the white is what throws me of a bit. Might be able to tell better in person. Somebody did a pretty good post on Bricks a couple years ago, green bricks etc. I'll post the link if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Very nice marble. Would seem an odd size to produce for a contemporary maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagmarble Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Looks real to me...if it gets lonely I can think of a great home where it can be with it's siblings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemades Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Killer example. Is the base transparent green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleloaf Posted November 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Yes, transparent green base as far as I can see. I did find some discussions on other forums about these. I have to ask since it sounds like some are darker - I know there are MFC white bricks and black bricks and the look is quite different depending. Could there also be MFC white green bricks and black green bricks? Personally, I really love the ratio of oxblood to green and white in mine. I can see why people rarely part with these!

slagmarble Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 The green is, from memory, just a different oxidization state of the copper that makes oxblood look the way it does... normally as a red opaque. Black/ox and white/ox are really the primary mixes but there is a big range in variation for end result to the eye. Typically on a "green brick" yes the green is much darker and can look black until backlit in just the right way. This is because the normal opaque oxblood does a great job interfering with transparency unless it happens to be very thin and at the surface as yours is. It is also possible to have lavender and blue in the mix with oxblood tracing the gather pattern (both very rare) and incidental oxblood in aquas which tends to be at the shear rather than throughout.
