Asian?

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!!

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.
