Fuzzy Chubbs Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I was thinking #1 and #2 were Akro Moss Agates, but the references I see online show yellow/ade type bases. Example: Marble #1 19mm Marble #2 18mm Marble #3 This one exhibits opalescence when backlit w/ white filaments/striation in the base. Could it be an Acme Realer? 18mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I think all 3 are Akro but the last one is a little harder to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 I just love the first “boxed” images that you refer to. Has anyone ever seen a blue Akro of this type (or any) that has any reaction to UV in the base glass?—There are also what I would call an attempt at “orange” that never shows up with UV reaction. They were all sold as “Moss Agates” regardless of any UV reaction. The Blue glass and the “Orange” glass might not have had a good reaction with the UV glass –these are my are my thoughts. All thoughts and opinions are welcomed in this topic. Oh, by the way---I believe that all of your yellow patches are Akro—imho of course. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akro blueberry has a uv reactive ade base, agreed VVHTF, I was lucky to have one. Some pix of some orangeade mibs I got from an AAM member, not positive these are Akro but still HTF IMHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
