Jzoook6 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Green translucent base with purple surface swirls. This color combo rang a bell but I can't recall where I saw it/heard about it. I want to say its a WV but I suppose vitro and jabo are also possibilities by default. Thoughts? Thanks in advance 906DFA4F-98DC-42D4-8404-DA58C3D032ED.heic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 That is a cool looking marble. My first thought is that it looks a lot like a whacky Vitro Conquerror. Is there a seam other than the one in the third pic you could show me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a translucent purple? If they are Vitro, I have a purple patch on white that looks like it could be the same. I thought my purple looks more like this heaton purple or champion or Alley--more opaque. I still don't have a great feel yet for how wide the range can be amongst one type of marble.

If they are Vitro, I have a purple patch on white that looks like it could be the same. They are Vitro - 100%, and that sort of purple/lavender/pink color is not so uncommon on Vitros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Conqueror variants on colored transparent glass - they might be called Fancy or Exotic Conquerors, I forget which. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jzoook6 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Now that u mention it, I have a vitro conqueror with a random purple stripe too. Thank you, Ric!!!

I don't think i have ever heard a satisfactory explanation as to the difference between Exotic and Fancy Conquerors so I sorta gave up on those names. I just know a good one when I see it. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 The ones you have circled are not Exotic Conquerors. The purple Heaton has no green. It has no cut lines, it has a dark purple base. You original marble is a Vitro Conqueror. I don't think it will fit the fancy, exotic or phantom conqueror groups. Exotics can have patches of either yellow, green, or red, and always have white ribbons or threads and usually some thin brown ribbons, all on a clear base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any yellow ones? I only have like 2. I wondered if some color patches are harder to find than others (like the ubiquitous red and blue ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if some color patches are harder to find than others (like the ubiquitous red and blue ones) At one point, I had a a few thousand Conquerors, I picked through them and pulled out good examples of the different colored patches and fancy (in the normal sense of the word) ones. I don't think I ever really tried to figure out what were the most common or rare colors. Someday, I'll have to find them and take a pic. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Several that Ric has above will fit into the Fancy Conqueror group. The best Vitro guide and best Vitro pictures are on All About marbles In the ID section near the top under Vitro Agate Identification Guide. The guide shows and explains four different types or groups of Vitro Conquerors. Plus many pages of other detailed pictures and info on named Vitro marbles. Conqueror = 25 cents Phantom Conqueror= 50 cents-$1.00 Fancy Conqueror = $1.00-$5.00 Exotic Conqueror = $10.00-$20.00 Neon Conqueror= $150.00- $250.00 Original Vitro double header(top &bottom)Cellophane bag with five Neon Conquerors = $1000.00 -$2000.00 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I think the OP Vitro is similar to this one but the OP didn’t twist like this one. I also think the color combo is very similar as well🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
