jameswymer Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 My guess is starting at one all the way left that 1 and 4 are augers and that 2 and 3 are snakes. 1 and 4 glow very bright under uv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 #1 could probably be called an auger. #2 and 3 are snakes. I'm seeing closer to snake than auger on #4. Those are collector names though. The company name for #1 and #4 is Akro Onyx. #3 is an Akro Spiral. #2 also looks like an Spiral to me. But I think that in a pinch Akro might have sold it in either box -- Spiral or Onyx. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Agree w/ Steph, I'm seeing a definite Auger on #1 , 2 & 3 snakes' & # 4 onyx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Steph nailed it, Augers are like a drill bit inside of the glass. Snakes are a corkscrew on the outside or exterior of the marble. Spirals for sure!! Augers were not an intentional thing imho. Just the workings of marble making.

Do you find less augers than spirals in your experience 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Augers have been harder for me to find. I don’t know about anyone else. I have one with a tight red spiral in the matrix. I have another one where the spiral ribbons open up and the edges end at the base base glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not real rare but rare enough. When you have one that glows under UV----😁,----- They are always a nice find. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 I had mine in my MK Red Cats Eye until I had a loupe and imagines of what they look like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean 75 augers to one spiral or vice versa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice versa my friend, sorry for the confusion. Augers are a cool thing as are Spirals/Snakes. Augers are a bonus. The Spirals/Snakes come in many different colors and sometimes x2 colors. I could collect these forever and not find all of the colors, combos or variations. Thanks for the correction. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
