Complete Beginner - Any Ideas what marbles they are?

[theteaman]

Hi there

 

I'm a complete beginner to marbles. I have no idea what this type of marble is called. Any ideas?

 

I think all the marbles in the photo are the same type so I've grouped them together. I've also taken close-ups of 3 individual marbles. I hope that helps, they're probably better than one of my previous posts

Many thanks

Well described and photographed in "Elizabeth Kempski's"  book on cats. There are some stripeys, and a few pix of foreign sparklers like yours as well. The best & most informative book on the subject I've ever seen.

I made a boo boo on my last post concerning foreign sparklers calling them "stripeys" & fixed it so no ne else gets mislead, Josh (NANTUCKETDINK) straightened me out on my AAM post on the same marbles you have Sam so I fixed it as well (I hate it when that happens) Don't know how I did it but I did on the simplest of I.D.'s. Anyway very sorry about the mislead Sam & whoever else read it before the fix !!

Hi Chad

 

No worries 🙂

So just to confirm they're called Sparklers right?

[Chad G.]

Yes !!  so called "Foreign sparklers" you have a few cats in the group but 98% are sparklers.
