 Back in the 1990's The Marble Lady: Cathy Runyan-Svacina: Home | The Marble Lady (square.site) 

Coined the name 'Chocolate Oxblood' patch or swirl. There's a bonus once you know the 'Chocolate'  base color, mixed blend too:  They are very hard to find and for such only few know: Yet, beyond the Oxblood; Occasionally, you can find this base color-mix Cathy Calls, 'Chocolate' in multicolor cork screws and of the dug-up hand-gathered Akros.

Is that an opaque light blue as in an MFC Persian verses the various opaque- simi-opaque found in 2004-5 at Akro?

Well, It does look blue-ish/white-ish in hand. Imaging will always be a bit off for me, and for many that post here. It is not as blue as it looks in my images. 
I do not think that it is an Akro.
Thanks and Marble—On!!

So, here's an Elias Greiner Vetters Sohn H-G, Clear, white and Oxblood fat tornado core that's a closeup shot for detail of Oxblood. However, the shot for grainy or pigmented texture in the chemicals mixing does not show as well as I'd been trying to get. Old photo with my junk, by today's standards, Cannon SLR digital camera.
