Marbleized Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I just got this marble at an antique shop. It looks like it has an orange glow like how some of the Akro flinties and moonies have. The base is a translucent cloudy color and the yellow ribbon with the black tracer (?) swirls into the marble, into almost a circle, not a corkscrew. Thanks for your help in advance!

Steph Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 The orange glow is a bit of a puzzle, but that sure does look Akro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks. Maybe the glow comes from the reflections of the yellow ribbon inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it is not a Popeye since it doesn't have that wispiness, so is it considered a mossy agate? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I agree, a lazy corkscrew on an Ace base, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 I think not a Popeye & not a moss agate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it does have that orange in the glow so it can't be from the ribbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 You can rule out Popeye, a Popeye has to have a transparent clear base & whispy white strands to qualify. Agree with lazy corkscrew as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Yes I’d for sure say Akro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
