Ric Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Does the white react to UV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 No it doesn’t. Nova ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have 2 other Novas but they are smaller. I can’t remember if Novas came in 2 different sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely sure, but I think the smaller ones are actually the less common ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm pretty sure Nova's don't come much smaller than 7/8ths or so. A post of David Chamberlains, reposted by Steph "Thank you Steph" "I'm" not sure what yours is Rick ?? I've never seen that "color combo" on a Nova, of course like everything else marbles, there's always an exception!!

Marbleized Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Here's me acting like I know anything. 😂 I read in Robert Block's book that a Nova is about an inch. Also read somewhere that they often have annealing fractures. The one and only Nova that I have looks more blended. But who knows, maybe mine is not a Nova. Thanks for letting me practice my marble ID'ing. I'm no expert. Listen to everyone else. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Looks Good. most of mine are a salmon to off white like that, over half of them are fractured Yes, unfortunately all to common on these, the ribbon glass was incompatible with the base causing the fractures, if you could get a shot of the seams it will help tell the tale ??

Fire1981 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 I lucked out. I have 2 Novas. One with an anneal fracture and one without. So I keep chasing this one around in my figures and I’m going NUTZ. No fractures. The base glass is black. The red and white ribbons both run counter clockwise. There is only one of each color.

PittsburghMarbles Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 ^ No the marble pictured is def not an Indian blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Here's the best Nova I have, no fractures or pocket ware and the air bubble didn't make it to the surface so it made wet mint, I got lucky on this one !! Even has a bit of purple in it though I think it's the glass overlapping, a hair over 7/8ths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 You nailed it. The sharp seam in the first pic is the trait. Same size as well. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
