Jzoook6 Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 All Heaton purples swirls? or maybe some Jabo? .56-62. The largest (4) seems to have a more opaque base when back lit. Thank you in advance for any feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them?!?! 🤯 I had semi ruled out Alley because I couldn't find any comparables with as opaque a base as any of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 All. The base on these can vary a lot. In color and in transparency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the heatons noticibly different than the Alleys in-hand? Like does/would one stick out in the group in the photo below? Or could there be some sleeper Heatons hiding in that pile? Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I don't know of any Heatons with this color combo. Not that there couldn't be. These Alleys are prolific and range in size from peewee to shooter and larger. The base can range from having lots to little clear, white, tan, grey, mixtures of those, some green or blue, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm maybe I am thinking of Cairo? Heres the closest purple Heaton I could find from westvirginiamarbles.com: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Yeah that's one of mine. I don't know of any Cairos close to the ones being discussed either. I'd say 95% of the lavender-purple and white swirls you'll see will be Alley. Maybe more. Alley used purple at Sistersville, Pennsboro, and St. Mary's. Here are a couple photos of some purples from Cairo. Note the simple plain swirl, no fancy stuff. Cairos don't swirl around as much as Alleys in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks, that's rare Cairo Neon cullet and marble. I dug it at Cairo earlier this year. It does look like it glows but doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
