Berryb Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 There is a fine (often blurry) line between slags and transparent swirls. The difference often fools novices and experts alike. They seem to have the same definition. I could paraphrase the official on a congressional committee when he said he couldn't define porn, but knew it when he saw it. I think slags are transparent swirls, but transparent swirls are not necessarily slags. If anyone has a clear distinction between the two besides experience I would like to know it.

akroorka Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 This is a very good point Berryb. There is a very fine line between the two. The term "slags" has been reserved for some very fine examples and I am OK with that. Swirls and slags are both single stream marbles and collectors have made the line between the two more prenounced or defined. As I understand it, CAC only made single stream marbles, yet we all call them swirls---at least most of them. We, as collectors know the differeence between a "swirl" and a "slag" and like it or not, the posted images will almost always be considered as swirls (except for a few purists😇) I happen to like the term "slags" and understand just where you are coming from. I wil concede and agree with the masses that these are swirls, but I will sort them as slags🍭. Marble on !!! and Keep the opinions on as well!! Marble collecting is just a great thing to do---and discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
