Nice group Tommy, Three divided ribbon core and the others are Latts.  I really like the two onionskins in the prior post "Nice"

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...........

That is a beautiful and impressive collection of micas. And among them all, a single red one. Your pic illustrates their rarity very well.

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

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.

I forgot to ask . . . does anyone know what the middle one is called?

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?
