marboman Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 The construction of this marble is throwing me off. Not typical Peltier , three ribbons of dark dense transparent green , no aventurine. Size 31/32" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Is it a corkscrew ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted December 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 I have it with my Akros now wasn't sure so asking here, the cutlines are too close together to be a corksrew. It does have a 3/4 twist. I'll get more pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think this may be a Peltier Broken Corkscrew. The 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th pics show the 'seam' where the two ribbons "match up" to form the broken corkscrew pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 Yes, more Images for sure. The big Pelts and the big Corkscrews did not always behave very well. Regardless of that---nice looking (nice size) marble!! Marble--On! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted December 11, 2022 Report Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think that you may have a nice big Peltier "Bumble Bee". Killer size and not too common. Search like heck for some AV in the dark parts. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is a giant at that which is maybe why it's not so easy to see as typical 5/8" size. Their Broken corks never had duel or more ribbons as is what most all others did, just one, spiraling crookedly with chopped ends just touching another end. IDK how'd they do that: chopping gobs and sticking em together? Ha. Yet, as the story goes, Peltier was trying to put the heat on Akro. They're pretty hard to find and a giant, got to be incredibly more difficult to even see one this big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Wow!! That's great , I've been looking for a Bumble Bee shooter for a long time. This one doesn't have aventurine and it's yellow and green no aventurine but it will do fine for now. Thanks for looking everyone. I can move to the Pelts now.

Fire1981 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 This “Pelt Broken Corkscrew “ needs to stop right here right now. If it doesn’t I will create a new one as well. Maybe I start sorting out my Cats Eyes hoping to find some Dogs Eyes. 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK why, but the photos Al referenced that are not in your post now, did appear to point to Peltier broken cork, yet this does not look like one. I only have 1 which is 5/8"a wasp w/aventurine. Difficult to describe as it's hard to imagine how they did it. So, there's ribbons that are single and broken, rather cut lines at the beginning and ending of each one. There's 4 on mine that end and connect into a quirky spiral, that as a whole is not the smooth twist Akro's spinning cups or any twisted type of marble would display. Each line may bend or turn a bit out of the sequence the resulting spiraled direction the whole ends up being. On mine, the whole of this ends up equaling 1 complete twist from top to bottom. Weird as to how Peltier managed to do that. Now I see yours perhaps at a better angle and where it appears to be broken, disconnected or, it seems that it's just the black ribbon is bent and folded over. verses cut, chopped or disconnected . Interesting spiral effect it seems yet, I am more inclined to consider it to be a Vacor or something other than an old marble. As far as you are seeing a dark green, there's a lot of black glass that's actually a very dark green. Additionally, not all of Peltier's black NLR or other has aventurine.
