broken cork

It has two seams or cuts. One cut in the first picture and a second cut in the last picture.  Cuts or seams are usually on opposite sides across of each other, but a few can end up close together. The elongated hot glass stream or glob is cut as it falls into the cutter. It is cut once, sometimes folds over on its self, and cut a second time. As fast as you snap your fingers. Every machine made marble is cut twice. This marble is a little messed up, May be a messed up corkscrew ? Does it glow ? Most Peltier NLR show both seams or cuts well.  Some marbles especially CAC actually show only one cut line. Many WV swirls and Jabos show no seams or cut lines at all. But they all are cut twice.

Ron; Thanks for the response. It is black light reactive, but only a little bit. It glows a slight pinkish tint where the yellow meets the red but not all the way around and also some pink smudges in the middle of the yellow in a couple of spots. The UV light needs to be pretty close to get any reaction at all. Thanks

Bruce
