Chad G. Posted October 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 "Happy Peltier Tuesday" A little early tonight, figured I'd get er rollin for any late nighters. Here's a Pelt Bronze Zebra w/ bronze, silver & green av. Not heavy ribbons but the entire surface of the mib is covered in av. Sometimes taking a close look really pays of, I was missing some really beautiful aventurine until I took the loupe to this one, I have bad eyes anyway so I could barely see the av. w/ my naked eyes. I thought it was just a dirty mib at first !! I posted these a while back but we have quite a few new board members so I thought it was maybe worth a second look ?? Believe it or not I took these w/ my Sony Handycam, after many retakes I finally managed to capture what I was looking at. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 No AV means "Red Bee"--am I right? I found this one in amongst my MK's while looking for one to post yesterday. They can fool you for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hmmmm--a bit slow for a Peltier Tuesday--lets light it up. The high ends are great-- but lets try this "common". 1" and as wet as it it gets. Show us some more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one in amongst my MK's while looking for one to post yesterday. They can fool you for sure. Yes, correct, Red Bee= no av. Ruby Bee = av. in the red ribbons, most of the time in Ruby Bee's the av. is slight or very fine so a close look w/ the loupe aught a wrap it up. Man what a borderline case, I'd say MK for sure if it weren't for a slight lazy "S" seam in the first pic. Still it does appear to have a patch and ribbon like MK, especially the second pic ?? I'm a might on the fence on this example !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one in amongst my MK's while looking for one to post yesterday. They can fool you for sure. I would have thought this was a Marble King. Sometimes I think I'm finally "getting it" and then I start questioning what I thought I knew. What gives it away that this is a Peltier and not an MK? (Sorry, dumb question. Hoping to get smarter. LOL!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Well, this one is still a tough one. The thing that made me do some more research is the presence of two “pull” seams which I have highlighted. These “pulls” or stretches are often seen in Peltiers. Probably just stretches of glass that got rounded into the orb. I did some research and found some “red Bees” that looked awfully close in construction and depth to mine. That being said—it may very well be a Marble-King. They can be very close to each other sometimes. I was probably smarter back when I sorted it into my MK stash, I prefer to think not.🤪 Sometimes you just have to call them like you see them. In-hand is always an advantage over a posted image. Still a nice example of either maker. Marble—On!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
