Jackson ?

The original marble above is probably purple glass.   There are millions, billions of these black looking dark WV swirls that were made by almost every WV swirl company. None of them will be true opaque black glass.  If thinned enough they will be purple. brown, green or blue.  The ways some of these can be separated is the pattern of the white swirl. how bright the white is, how much it looks black, what the actual true color is. A lot of the Ravenswoods are dark brown. With a lot of years and 100% known examples in hand, some of these can be separated by company. This is a big reason they have very little value, plus the numbers available.   

A key to Jackson marbles is learning which ones glow. Once that is done those are easy to identify. It is the ones which have the cream colored or dirty white colored Vitrolite glass, which do glow. The more white or more near snow white in Jacksons do not glow.
