Tommy,
Just imagine a 7 gram weight vs a 2 gram weight falling onto the rollers. The stretch in the glass would be quite different in the glob as it falls. 
These bigger marbles just do not behave the same as they are made compared to the smaller ones. 
I remember a Brian Graham video showing him follow the marble down the rollers of the “Miller Machine” blasting it with a torch. This was not just because the rollers were not as hot as they should be but to keep the glass  from getting folds and imperfections.
Vacor has been making big marbles for years and years but they still show up with folds and imperfections. 
Akro and others abandoned these big ones because they wanted perfection. One inch was about as good as they could do. Peltier did not do as well and many big Pelts do show up with folds and imperfections.
Yours is an Akro. Sometimes color is the key.
Here is my “Blurry”.
Not too easy, no size as of yet, two images to get you folks going.
Marble—On!!

That is a bomber marble. I’ve never seen one of those. The crude surface glass and seams are really cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥

They are pretty cool, I must admit.

Nice thick layers of glass along with a transparent red streak. It seems like the transparent glass covers it all like a clear-cote on an automotive finish

Marble--On!!
