Leigh Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 It's not in very good condition, but I actually like this little marble. Is this an Akro? The last two photos are under a black light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’d say yes. Crazy color combo. The lashes in pic 8 is what said yes for me. Killer marble in my book 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I would leave it as is. You would lose the Lashes in pic 8 if you did. Others may think differently then me on this one 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Good call. Handmade marbles tend to have enough surface glass that can be polished. One draw back there is you might lose the pontils 🔥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I don't think it is a handmade or any pontils. Handmades do not have eyelashes. I am not sure what it is ? The pictures are focused on fingerprints more than the marble. Looks like a clear base with slight green and dark blue. It would most likely cost more to polish it than what it is worth.

You can call it a snake I suppose, what ever it is it is a different and cool corkscrew. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I agree Thanks for the clarification. I had a new collector email me asking where the pontils were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
