Marbleized Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Here's a marble that I just got in a lot. Basically, this is the marble that caught my eye. I loved all the drizzly glass and the grayish blue color. While I was looking at it more closely, I noticed an outline of a circle that I thought might be some kind of pontil, so I'm thinking a slag because of the tail, a transitional because of the pontil like circle, and CAC because it is one of the earlier companies that made slags. Any confirmations or differing opinions appreciated! The last pic shows the circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 West Virginia Swirl. The circle is some kind of error -- I'm not sure if it's from getting hung up on machinery or if it's lost glass from a later incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted February 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Or maybe the circle is from a reheat where a glass rod was detached? It certainly does swirl! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Not a slag. It is a Alley swirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 And, by the way, it is machine made - no rod attached, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
