crashbelt Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Micas were often chosen for Victorian solitaire boards. I've posted a few of my mica sets before. Sometimes it's nice to get some from my jar of loose micas out for a picture. Not sure the idea of putting them on my piano keys is the greatest artistic setting but hey........... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a beautiful and impressive collection of micas. And among them all, a single red one. Your pic illustrates their rarity very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Okay, so I still haven't been able to lay my hands on that Pink "Bennington" but I did find an old pic. For this thread, you can certainly ignore the marble on the left - it's an early American. And I am sure there's a reason I photographed these two together - you might want to ignore the one on the right too. lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Those Red Micas are about as rare as a Lightning Bolt. Over twenty five years and I have one. I have only seen about three for sale in twenty five years. Block just sold one, in one of his online marble auctions. But it was not cheap. Ric maybe we can race looking for a pink Benny. I bought a nice one at the recent FL show. I am also looking for it. Yesterday I found a 1 3/4 inch solid core in my coat pocket. A coat that I had on coming home from the Jan. Indy show. I bought it as I was leaving and forgot about it until I put the coat on again yesterday. But no pink Benny in that coat. It will roll out or up here sometime. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered that Bauman refers to the middle one as a "Mist" and says they are "scarce", which might explain why, unless I missed one, it's the only one shown in this 17 page thread. Who knew?

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I was on the fence with "mist" but for some reason thought they had Mica along with the translucent colors. Not a type I think of often, thanks for jogging my memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
