Odd cats eye

Recommended Posts

The glass leans more towards the yellowish side of green rather than the usual greens I have seen. More than likely a bubble split the veins when made, but thought I would post here for any input being an uncommon oddity?

Foreign, for sure. I've seen some where the only fractures are in the vanes, but this one looks like it's got a big fracture in the base glass too, and they can look pretty weird.

Vacor,  i see orange peel in the reflection of the light and around the marble and my guess is  thats also a nice clean fracture you see splitting it up like that , seen it before here with some of mine i have here

Orange peel not necessarily Vacor. I have many marbles from almost every manufacture with an orange peel texture. An orange peel texture is desired on an Akro Jolly Roger. Jolly Rogers "have to be over an inch to qualify" but the orange peel surface isn't a must just desired because it looks exactly like an orange peel, I believe this marble is where the term originated but I'm not sure ?? Be ready to pay up for one of these, just not that many around.

Here are some different shots. This marble is a little tricky, the "line" inside is pretty straight and from what I can see in hand, doesn't go through the vein, rather around it. The surface isn't fractured anywhere that I can see. In one shot you can see little bubbles running along the top of the vein. There are tiny fractures inside but all are attached to the vein, none  of them near the surface. The only marks on the surface are the cut marks. The vein gives the look of something as if it were breaking the surface of water. It's a crazy marble but cool at the same time.

Hmm, maybe the expanding gas (air) bubble caused the fracturing in the first place, making it appear as just being an air bubble. The log straight line is a fracture, as well as the small horizontal crack on the interior on one of the veins. So I see both a fracture & an air bubble.
