akroorka Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 Well, You made me pick out some black and white Master Made "Comets". --Thanks for that--I may say "backlight them all" but I obviously never did with these. Amazing what I found. No UV reaction with mine. Yours may be a Vitro. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I remember when I first started I never really backlit a heckuva lot. Now I do it pretty much all the time. It is pretty cool what one finds/discovers with a little light 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all that I can say my friend--Backlight them all. We are in a new age and the descriptions from the manufacturers were long past and under very dim light. Imaging or describing a marble under gas or the earlier electric lights that we do not have, or cannot really envision. It is time to open our minds to this concept and accept that the term “opaque” may be what it was, not what it is today.

I will always have an opinion, sometimes I hold back—until it is needed, mostly it is not. Thanks to you all for the greatest opinions on Marbles ID on the Inter-web.

Carowill Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 I don’t know about anyone else, but opinions are great! Right or wrong, they make us think and should challenge us! Keep on “keeping on” with thoughts and opinions. Just wanted to interject a bit of levity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming opaque means no light passes thru. I have 3 hanging 1955 Rotoflex lights over my dining room, on a dimmer, so I can really replicate the early dim lightning! But I'm sure they could take them out into the daylight or hold them up to a dim light and see translucent. Would be surprised if they didn't know what kind of marble they were marketing. Nontheless, using my LED flashlight, no light passes thru. Do I not have Master Comets....?🤔 . 5/8" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagocyclist Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Whew! I was getting concerned when you said that light shined through them. Thanks on the photos. if I take the time and use the two light setup it works great but since I don't have it set up all the time I get super lazy. I don't have room for it because I have marbles covering almost my entire dining room!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
