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!! Nine didn’t backlight with a standard LED flashlight, except at the edges. got curious and found this online. https://oldraremarbles.com/product/unusual-akro-honey-color-cornelian-brick/ they have several others for sale, plus they show sold prices for reference.

The second I cannot call—name-wise--I do believe that it is a Vacor, another nice one for sure. The slag is an Akro imho. Try to push back the wanting it to be a CAC (as all collectors---new and old---should do imho) and really look. There is absolutely no problem with it being an Akro vs a CAC. It is just a very nice marble. Nice images--- Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
