I think they must be a bit harder to find. Here's my contribution for the day, a few hours late EST. Pink on brown Sistersville Alley. A few hours late is OK with this one---Love it👌. Marble--On!!!

I am thinking that it must have come from some place in the Vintage Marble Capitol of the World—West Virginia. This marble has a semi-opaque Brownish base glass with light Turquoise striping/swirls. Hard light will not show trough the marble but it will at the edges. The striping/swirls go quite deep and throughout. Marble—On!!! AMAZING♥ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted December 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 "Happy West Virginia Wednesday" Three different views & lighting set ups for the same marble. First indoors, second in normal Daylight and third backlit. I know it kinda resembles a pull but the pitting and chunks of excess oven brick give the glass a very close resemblance to that of an Alley Green Giant minus the av give it an Alley swirl I.D. I posted it for positive I.D. and the unanimous decision came back Alley as well. Oops !! almost forgot, comes in at just barely over 7/8ths of an inch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would start comparing this one to more Veliglas marbles and form my own opinion. I think that you know what it really is and I support that. Marble--On!!

akroorka Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hello to all of you WV Wednesday marble lovers. I just felt like posting three today, it could be the weather. (Yes, I had to shovel snow today) The first is 7/8” a bit beat up but no apologies. This is the only one that I have seen. Alley? The second one is 5/8”.It looks like it wants to glow under UV but it does not. Ravenswood? The third one—well---just a killer marble. 9/16” No guess or ID from me on this one. As always, any and all opinions are appreciated, from any and all. Marble—On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Thanks Chad, When you only have one to compare with none it is just a hard thing. What do you think about #2. WV swirls are not an easy thing for me to ID. I know one when I see one but to ID to a specific company is a rough one for me. Marble--On!!!
