akroorka Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I have not seen an explanation on this type of marble. They look like a Vitro but they have an oily sheen to them—metallic like. Maybe someone can give us both an idea of just what you have there. I have come across these once in awhile and never ventured a guess as to the maker. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Later Vitro All Red. It was sprayed with alcohol or other special liquid while hot, to make it iridescent. Vitro did big numbers of them in the 1980's especially All Reds. Plus Jabo did a lot of different classics iridescent. I sprayed several of those at Jabo. It makes them extra shiny and some will look like chrome. I think Vacor and maybe some Asian marbles are also iridescent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I think this Vitro is from Anacortes, WA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Don’t put them in a fish tank. They’ll taint the water and kill the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
