Mojo Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Tried this Used a Rock identification app on a Android phone and scanned a JABO with AV This is what the app came up with True or false ? Very interesting when this is real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted July 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 The man / woman who can develop an app to scan marbles with and let you know what kind of marble it is......that would be something. That the app can read texture of glas , a patch , something particular that only is in a specific marble of that maker of a time period Real science that would be Just a thought....could be interesting Think you first need to do is scan a zillion marbles to have a wide database with things that a big server can compare and divide and make a profil of a specific maker , type of marble..... Impossible ?? What do we think Comments very welcome 🤹♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Is it telling you which rocks look like the marble ? Looks like it may be matching up certain colors ? Maybe trying but poor job matching the design or pattern of the marbles colors. Have you tried a cat eye or sparkler ? I don't think it will ever pick up the aventurine. There is no aventurine in a rock. I also don't think many rocks glow under black light. What does a oxblood rock look like ? There are several variations of oxblood for marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i can tell , this app scans for pieces of rock ( in the marble )and then tell you what it is , i have my doubts that its working like it should I think mainly the app scans the color and just guesssing then....think its not so high tech that it could really see all the elements that are inside the marble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check definition of sand Sand = rock Possibilty is that the sand that was used to make glass (marbles) , that that sand holds AV...AV = little pieces of gemstone Sometimes also organic material (shells) Is sand Google Sand is Rock ?

There are several variations of oxblood for marbles. https://www.uvminerals.org/minerals/common-fluorescent-minerals/ Rocks glow If these minerals / elements where mixed while making glass for marbles It was in the sand , just like the uranium sulfide that makes the marbles glow radiation green , the Iron that makes it glow yellow and orange. Its all in the mix 🤹♂️ Nevertheless , i think the rock indentification app is not so high developed that it can trace pieces of rock elements in the glass of the glass sphere of the marble, But then again , made 2 pictures of marbles with that app and it came up with what i showed you above when i started this topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Big Bang Theory with a twisted up marble thrown into the mix ? Long Beach on the South Shores of Lake Michigan has white sand. If you drag your feet or toes through it makes a sound like a harp. It’s the only beach that has this sand. I bet it would make some good marbles.

Fire1981 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 It’s all about the sand. Sand from the rivers made a difference in base glass and more for every factory. Sounds like a lab project and a microscope to get down to the nitty gritty on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted July 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 My point is I am interested to know what is in the marbles that made them the way they are Not only by sight..and expirience by looking at the marble , but knowing a little more Understand them more in a scientific way And discover more content of marbles and how they were made and what was used in the proces and why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 A General marble and Glass chat discussion I didn't read totally right away, but since its focus is apparently on the contents of marbles, seemed like the place to share an Aventurine sphere I picked up a while back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 It's very impressive what your app can do with a rock or a color. This is how your brain does it. Key word shine and glitter etc. Members 1.5k Location:Sparks , Nevada Gender:Not Telling Posted April 12, 2010 Thought some might be interested Article by Betty Edwards, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, p231 Placing color in the brain Given sufficient light to percieve colors, scientists also tell us that the brain's reaction to colors seem to depend on the differences in thinking modes of the various sections of the brain. Very bright, intense colors (and colors that shine and glitter) draw a response from the so-called "primitive" brain, the limbic systems. This response is an emotional one, perhaps connected to our biological heritage of color as communication. For example, many people say, "When I get mad, I see red!" The inverse of this exclamation perhaps describes the situation whereby an intense red elicits an emotional, aggresive response. The main role of L-mode, generally located in the left hemisphere, is to tag colors with names and attributed, such as "bright blue," "lemon yellow," or "burnt umber," and to translate into words our emotional reactions to colors. Additionally, L-mode is specialized for designating sequenced steps in mixing colors- for example, "to mix orange, add yellow to red," or "to darken blue, add black." The right hemisphere (or R-mode) is specialized for the perception of relationships of hues, particularly for subtle linkages of one hue to another. R-mode is biased toward discovering patterns of coherence, specifically toward combinations of hues that balance opposites- for example, red/green, blue/orange, dark/light, dull/bright. In his 1976 essay "The Dialectics of Color," Dr. Peter Smith states: "Since the right hemisphere has a strong interest in the way things fit together to form a closed system, it may be said to be a decisive factor in the esthetic response." This closed system may be what artists speak of as unified, harmonious color- that is, color in relationship that are locked into balance. Perhaps R-mode recognizes the satisfying wholeness of properly unified color and reacts with a pleasurable sence of "Yes. That's it. That's right." The converse is also tru: R-mode recognized unbalanced or disunified color arrangements and perhaps longs for unity and the missing parts of the closed system. An individual may experiance this longing as vague dislike- a sence that something is missing or out of place. R-mode has another important role in color: seeing which combination of colors has produced a particular color. Given a range of grays, for example, R-mode sees which one is warmed with red, which is cooled with blue. Hope you enjoy,from a favorite Art book.
