Chad G. Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Definitely not a corkscrew, but something seems a little off for a pelt Zebra ?? The black outside the ribbons looks a little funky IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Some closer images maybe? That should tell the tale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 Nice find, I would sort it as a Pelt Zebra--more images needed for sure. Crop them and get up close with good light--maybe some AV in this one. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some cropped photos, last two are with a flashlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 OK Lumbo, If you post any marbles under UV light---remember to say so. The more natural light is of course sunlight. White light is the best if it is too cloudy. The masses will not realize as much as the more experienced will. Ron called it on a previous post of game marbles by Dano3---great job Ron. This is a group of folks that will go from 40-50 years experience to under one month. You have to cut all of us a break in your images and tell us the lighting that you used. Your last images appear to have a UV influence to me.--Great images by the way. I will still call it a Peltier and the light that you show has some UV influence IMHO. Do not get me wrong, Pelt made marbles like this with a greenish base like you show. Nice find regardless. Try to get another penlight, yours is giving the wrong impression imho. Marble—On!!

Chad G. Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Definitely not a pelt Zebra, trans. green base rainbo IMO. Standard zebras have an opaque white base w/ black ribbons, usually containing some amount of aventurine but not always. Not seeing the uv effect ??

akroorka Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 I am just judging by the blue light from the penlight and I will admit that I may be wrong here. Still, it is a nice Pelt marble and when you look back at the previous images it all of a sudden looks green instead of black—my bad. Marble—On!!

Scooter Posted July 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 The pen light I was using was a Halogen. I tried it with a regular flashlight, and in the direct sunlight, and the translucent base was still green. What I can now see by holding the MIB in my hand in the bright sunlight, is that all of the black ribbons that I thought were Zebra stripes, are actually the green translucent base that look like black stripes until you put the sunlight on them. Thanks for all of your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
