COME—ON PELT-HEADS LETS LIGHT THIS PLACE UP!!! 
DO NOT LET A CORK-HEAD LIKE ME TAKE OVER THIS TOPIC.
I have this one identified as a Honey Onyx. This is a pretty rare one, in my experience at least. 9/16”
Tell me what you think.
Marble—On!!

Is the line a greenish tint Art ?? Honey Onyx is supposed to be on a translucent (semi opaque base) your base looks to be opaque ?? I found a pic of a box full from an old auction. Another pic and description from the (MSCA) I have a few of them and they look exactly like the ones pictured and in the box, almost a milky translucent look, I take it a patch type marble. The line definitely has a green tint, not transparent but translucent.  I have to start taking hundreds of pix anyway, guess I'll get some when and if I stumble onto them again ??

Thanks Chad,

I would call the base semi-opaque. The stripe looks more like an oxblood than a green.

Who knows what it is. I spent a lot of time with it so I will just mark it up as "close but no cigar" but will keep on keepin on👍.

Marble--On!!

Flaming Dragon cullet maybe ?? A little burnt ?? Hmm ?? Regardless a very vibrant & nice clean piece of Cullet, trying to narrow it down to company by color but I see you've ran into the same query as I have !! Looks maybe "Alley" too, I don't see Akro, MK or Christensen ?? Process of elimination should hopefully get ya within a couple manufacturers as to the proper I.D. 

Thank you Chad. Once it arrives in hand, I will be able to confirm  red AV.on the bottom as mentioned by the seller.

Looking at this shot with the purplish grey blend and one of my mibs, I'm leaning to Alley. Keeping in mind the two below are taken with two different cameras and lighting.

Akro made corks in this color combination.  There is not lots of Peltier cullet available. But there were tons and tons of Akro cullet taken out by many people.  For months one man took a backhoe bucket full of cullet out every evening as he left. 

The Alley Carnival and a Akro cork are almost exact matching color combinations.

yes that’s a super score in my book how big is that VHTF chunk of cullet ? thx 

Hi Dave,

Thank you. I'm pretty excited about it. The traces of purple sets it apart from Akro in my opinion. So I'm with you on Alley.

Even though Akro has purple in some marbles, it's the blend and erratic swirl in this glass that's nothing like the more uniform Akro. Just my opinion.

Here's the specs:

The cullet measures approx. 2 5/8" long at longest points, 2" wide at widest points and 1 1/8" tall at tallest points. The cullet weighs 4.70 oz.
