A 1-1/4" MFC, various 5/8-3/4" Oxblood Bricks, including a 7/8" Akro Black brick, (right of green slag, abought right-center) and even a Vacor Hand gathered 1" Atmosphere in CAC lavender/Yellow cobra colors. (Giant Vacor H-G Cobra) Moreover, from beginning of MFC to End Vacor company's production in one bag. Can you post additional photos of the marble that is green/orange(red?) To the right of the large brown slag pictured center? The pattern looks an awful lot like Christensen Agate which would make this one particularly interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the right of the large brown slag pictured center? The pattern looks an awful lot like Christensen Agate which would make this one particularly interesting I believe you are referring to the green and red with a virtually perfect nine pattern. It's a wet mint marble that defies identification as the green is mixed with clear, a bit of white, and quite reactive to ultraviolet light. Old, like late 90's Photoshopped collage to show the different glass that's mixed in. It matches the colors best. Below; I have attempted to capture a new and better shots, but have not been as successful as I was many years ago. It lights up! Red is too orange-like-and not dark as 1st photo is. Not exactly Oxblood either but close. I have never seen anything like it. Not CAC, Maybe Akro and Doubt MFC for the red, albeit Bob Block thinks it is an MFC, others lack experience or certainty. There's nothing else like it. (Refer to the 1st photo for its shade of red) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagmarble Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I wouldn't have a problem calling this CA, it's a known color combo for hand gathered examples though I have to admit yours is a whole lot nicer than mine! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I know that Orange and Green, I have one like it, the very same colors, with a whiptail but it's not Hand-gathered. I don't have a photo to show. Besides mine, I have not seen but a few, a very long time ago. Mine pretty much has the same orange lines and there is not a nine pattern rather, more like a striped opaque, and where it was cut off, it got a nice (about 1/4") hook-shaped whiptail slapped on it. For lack of a nine and or swirling pattern, it's mind-boggling as to how or why there's a tail. I have never understood CAC's ability to have a tail off a side of cut-off that is not a dribbling strand of stretched glass on the surface and not HG..

slagmarble Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Orange/black opaque, or, if it isn't opaque it works like a green brick where you have to hit some magical angle with a flashlight that I can't find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 This one is between 3/4” and 7/8”. White with an amberish/greenish base glass. Yes, it is out of round—still pretty cool. I think that it must be an Alley Agate. I appreciate all opinions and look forward to them. Marble—On!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
