3 Mossies Walk Into a Bar

I was thinking #1 and #2 were Akro Moss Agates, but the references I see online show yellow/ade type bases.

Example:

Marble #2

18mm

Marble #3

This one exhibits opalescence when backlit w/ white filaments/striation in the base.  Could it be an Acme Realer?

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!!

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.
