It takes after me, always misbehaving. It cried out to me and I had to post it, I hope that it will quit crying now. Yes, Corkscrews are swirls but this one really wanted to be a swirl on its own—not a corkscrew. (Kids!) What a nice one! I still love her, very much, corkscrew or not! Marble—On!!! Wow! Art this thing is insane!! in very good way!! Wow!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmoozer Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) This is 25/32”. I seem to remember a similar example being called an AKRO “Cornelian”. Brick? Edited April 30, 2022 by schmoozer Spelling🥴 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

("CORN") The old timers used to call these "bricks". (no oxblood in these) I will look back in my images for a few examples. They were marketed as such--"Cornelians" by Akro. The colors did vary from dark red--(almost)a purple to true red. Many were dug. Yours looks legit as a marketed example. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two are Vacor Black Panthers at ---let’s just say 1 ½”—I am not a metric guy. ( I have to change my ways to keep up) Vacor has made the very best attempt ever at making very big marbles—some are just really great—most are not.

The box is not my image---I got it some were—cobbed it I guess. The marble images are mine. Yours may or may not backlight like this one. If Akro ever intended on making a swirl without calling it such—this was it. Not a slag, not a brick, not a corkscrew. A “Cornelian” is a great find, much harder to find than a “Brick” imho. The darker colored ones have a collector’s name that I can never remember, Gooseberry or something like that. I search for these and pay up when I have to---I just love them. A great Akro Marble my friend! Marble—On!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Here are two “Gooseberrys”( I still am not sure of the name) or darker Cornelians vs a more normal red one in the lower right. These are very well covered—most are not, very sparse would be the word—and they are very hard to ID. Marble—On!! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of the name, more recently I've heard the term "Mulberry Brick" just curious if ya know anything Art ??, I heard all the "mulberry bricks" were dug examples. Seen Dani & Ernie Kirk (Zaboo) sell a few Mulberry Bricks before they went to Facebook w/ their sales ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard/read also that they were all dug. I think that the two darker ones that I show above may be "Mulberry Bricks". If they did come from a dig--they faired very well. Either way, I love em. Thanks for bailing me out with the name---again😁. Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
