Is there such a thing as a clear indian ?

Or is this just a banded coreless

Here's a pic of one from Etsy. I don't have access to my marble books right now, but I think you're right. It is a transparent banded coreless.

I found this about "Indians" on Marble Alan's page: 

INDIANS
Indian Swirls typically possess an opaque black base. However, some are translucent (so-called Maglites, since a powerful flashlight is required to make light pass through them), and these will have an amethyst, dark green, red, amber, or blue base.

Agree, Banded Transparent IMO.  I have heard of some newer collectors calling them "Clear (transparent) Indians" but if you ask me it's just adding to the confusion.

Indians are typically opaque black based, the biggest one shown in this group is actually a dark transparent green color, a "maglite Indian"

Well color me confusion then. This is just a change in nomenclature?

Looks like a Maglite to me 🔥

Maglites are too dark to see through w/  the naked eye, the OP is transparent IMO

[Fire1981]

True 🔥

Your maglite is a transparent banded ghost core. Obviously it is by your own discussion provided here. There in no such thing as an Indian with a core.,   am I wrong? 

[Chad G.]

Yes, as stated it 's a ghost core, not an actual core just air bubbles. Never seen a Maglite w/ an actual core but  I guess anything's possible.

Coreless swirl.

All cane-cut marbles have an initial gather.  Period.  People have come to refer to the absence of color or construction as things like "ghost" - which doesn't make any sense.  When an initial gather is marvered, it will have some texture or pick up some frit dust etc etc.  But that doesn't make it a core deserving of a name, absent some intentional construction that merits it.
