Nice Akro, I'm leaning more Carnelian than Cherry Ade. The last one is a Peltier, or dare I say, maybe a . . .

akroorka Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Here is a nice ¾” Akro Agate “Cornelian”, a company name (not Carnelian). The first set of images shows a backlit image on the left, both images are under a fill flash. They cannot all be backlit with this effect. This one sure looks like a backlit slag. In hand, under normal light, Cornelian’s appear to be opaque. As you can see this one has a nice “tail”. I still believe that is a “machine made” and not a transitional. Slag’s that are machine made will show the same “tails” sometimes. These marbles show up in a darker red/maroon color but I believe that they were all dug or “experimental”. In the early days of collecting machine-mades folks called the darker ones “bricks”. No Oxblood is involved. There is a collectors name for this darker color but it escapes me--- (help me out here mulberry?). I would not consider Cornelians to be common. The white on these is not usually as robust as the one I show. When I backlight this one with torchlight it has an out of focus “fisheye” effect just like a “Flintie”---hmmm I wonder---was the same glass recipe used?? Just another great reason to back-lite your marbles—you just never know. Marble—On!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I took a chance on EBay 12ish years ago and won all the Akros I’ve posted and more. Really crappy pictures but it worked out. $10 and one of my all time favorite scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
