Blue Zebra?

[Fire1981]

I have a white based Pelt with Blue AV ribbons. I have a beat up Blue Bee so I thought the Blue AV would change this into a Blue Zebra instead of the Black AV. Ron mentioned a True Blue Zebra. Does anyone have any pics of the True Blue Zebra ?

Am I chasing a 4 legged Rooster here ?

I don' t have one but I just looked at Sami Arim's book on Peltiers & there's one pic of a blue Zebra in the "Two color NLR" section & one pic in the "Aventurine" section.  In both cases blue ribbons on a white base, one without any visible av and one absolutely loaded. I have a bunch of zebras w/ blue av., no av.,  bronze av., green av. & silver av as well as mixed but as yet no "Blue Zebra" I went to the "Peltier info site" but no pic of one there as well, only place I personally seen an actual example is in Sami's book. I believe a "True Blue Zebra" has blue ribbons on a white base, not sure if av is a qualifier ?? If it has blue ribbons I'd guess it's a Blue Zebra, maybe Sami will post on this matter ??

NOT MINE! but I think this is one?

Following Chad’s post, yes,  Blue Zebras exist. There is an early Miller version, which I have never seen containing any aventurine. Those are typically larger size, always with very attractive, gorgeous patterns. Blue ribbons on white base. NLR version is as attractive and maybe a bit easier to find. Those contain heavy blue aventurine and are magnificent marbles.

The first marbles which old collectors told me was a Blue Zebra was a NLR opaque bright white base with ribbons full of blue aventurine. With thick aventurine which is dark blue until it gets out near the edges of the ribbons and it is bright blue aventurine.  I had two but sold both of them a few years back.

This is my other one. No AV but dark blue ribbons diving into the matrix.

True white shows up better in this pic. I definitely think this is a NLR Pelt FWIW

here is two pics i found on the net of blue zebras 

[Chad G.]

The first pic is from AAM & the second is a regular Zebra w/ Blue av. The ribbons must be blue to qualify as a "Blue Zebra" not just black ribbons containing blue av.  I found these and scores of other pics last night but not one like the examples put forth in Sami's book.  I wish I could post them but the book is copywritten.

There are 160 matches so a lot of posts and a lot of reading  & pix, please don't go off just the pix, some are just posted for I.D. purposes & are not Blue Zebra's. You will find an actual "Blue Zebra:" is a much different looking bird !!

There's the Blue I was lookin for, no av necessary, "Thanks Bill"   Sami stated that the larger examples usually had no av present. I have a few w/o av & actually they're harder to find that the ones w/ av, in my experience anyway !!

Yes !!  Marbles are all perspective, I guess it's "Go with the general consensus" I try not to get to wrapped up in the name game just from a collectors point of view. I read and looked at over 3/4ths of those posts last night and seen some good examples as well as some really bad examples, I guess just get the best example you can find ?? I just go with whatever I like, don't get me wrong I like the Blue Zebra & have looked for one also. I suppose one will pop up when I least expect it !!

They vary Brad, I have some w/ 6, I think they call those 6 finger, not to be confused w/  6 finger Vitro (although the "name game" can get that way)

I was reading up on the 6-finger pelts, and the vitro cats. Still learning.
