Chad G. Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Antique Aventurine. Heaviest av. josephs coat I have, nearly 2/3rd's coverage and as mint as antique marbles come, I have several coats @ or near 1" with av. but nothing comes close to the av. in this one. 25/32nds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 A tri stage w/ blue, silver and green av. in the ribbons riding over the white and orange solid core. I have some better pix of the different colors of av. I'm gonna add later, 7/8th's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Those are great, Chad. I especially like the Joseph's Coat. It's always fun to find AV in less usual places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 That is a nice Akro with the av and look at those eyelashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Here's two Akro Royals with heavy AV and a middle one without AV. I have also seen someone with a green one with black AV. Here's an unusual cork and matching patch with a scattering of AV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Sweet marble. It looks terrific complementing those flames. Never held one like that in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Those big ones are kind of hard to find in good condition - the glass is a bit soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 My alleys are either plastered w/ av. or dusted, the first two look like someone just walked by and spilled a little in the air, the second two look like someone fell on them with a bucket of av. I prefer happy medium, but am happy just to have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Pelt Golden rebel w/ av. in the yellow, red, and black. Oop's!! sorry for the repeat, my mind isn't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Ok, I have this one, and some questions about it: Isn't Aventurine supposed to sparkle like the Pelt above. This one has what looks like soot in it, very little, if any, sparkle. Yet I see similar mibs posted. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but it doesn't sparkle like an ally spruce or a pelt zebra.

bonniemarbles Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 I found it very hard to capture the AV in my Jabos, even in the sun, they have a lot more sparkles then I was able to photograph. Some of you got the shimmers really well, These are the only marbles I have with AV so far: I'm on the search for a AV loaded spruce- just love the frosted evergreen look.

It appears you need a macro lens to bring your pix into focus Bonnie, if you are using your cell Jess just bought a really good clip on for her phone, the post is on "General marble glass chat" under "new macro lens " I hope this helps you out !!

Thanks Bruce Yes it's black av. Bruce, like the blue and white Alley swirl I have pictured above, mostly black w/ some silver here and there. The mib you have is a very nice example of black av. Also comes in blue, silver, red, green and a few other variations, "from what I gather" the higher the temp the smaller and darker the av. particles become. I may be off a little but the av. in your mib is perfectly normal. Many of my Alleys have Black av. mixed with a little silver or green, I like the way it gives things in the marble an outline. Your marble isn't inferior but an excellent example of black av., a "keeper" Hopefully this helped you a little bit Bruce. Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
