@crashbelt @Royal3 @Alta @Chad G. Wow, you've been posting some great marbles since I was last here!

Here's an 11/16" marble I've never seen before. I'm calling it a Caramel Ribbon Swirl with Mica. Caramel Swirls with Mica are a thing, but the ribbons in this one are very similar to what you would find in a clear glass ribbon lutz. No lutz here, unfortunately, but it's a pretty rare find and pretty cool IMO. 

I thought about adding "end of cane" since the ribbons thin out and lose their structure before they reach the faceted pontil. I even considered "end of day" since it's such an oddball - no sense getting carried away though. 😉

Please let me know if you've seen another or think I might be off with my description.

What a dark beauty! “Caramel ribbon swirl with mica” is a mouthful, but I can’t think of a more accurate description, other than “sweet!”

That Clambroth or banded opaque is special.  My favorite Handmades!   

Cased Clambroth. I know it sounds wrong but it's not opaque, transparent inside.  All of them I've seen sold (which has been verry verry few) have been called cased clambroths. VVVHTF took me 40 years to find one in the wild. Only divided ribbon core I've seen W Black on the ribbons to right below it.
