ann Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Can`t tell about that one. Fire was speaking about green Vitro cats. Check those out. If it`s there, it`s very fine . . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it look like a tiny piece of whitish mica? or darker metallic colored? a good portion of mine have the whitish glitter but I do have a handful with chunky steelier pieces.

ann Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 No, but I love to find debris in marbles - kind of gives them their own personalities. In green Vitro cats, the aventurine (if it`s there) is a very very fine sparkle (greenish or goldish) directly on the blades that`s not really noticeable until you hit it with a flashlight and turn the marble back and forth - then you might see what I call (in my head) glittery pixie dust!

I cannot recall seeing those 3 colors together in a Cat---Vacor might have made some though. Vacor mixed color cats come in a multitude of color combos.

ann Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 I have a couple of Vacor cats that have black, green, and white vanes - As far as I know, Vacor is the only one that used black vanes in the classic 3-vane pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
