x3, NLR Zebra, 39/64 (almost 5/8ths) common size, I see hvy av in the thin black ribbons, probably also present in the bronze colored ones, almost a checkerboard pattern but not quite, still a nice mib Al.

May I ask what 'av' stands for, please? Thanks in advance!

av. = Aventurine

The sparkles you see in the black ribbons here are called aventurine. It can be added or be the result of a chemical reaction in the glass. There are a few different colors of av. besides silver or blue, green for one. here are a couple peltiers w/ aventurine in them. Peltier isn't the only manufacturer that had or has marbles containing aventurine, it's also used in many contemporary marbles.
