Chad G. Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Onionskin's have an underlying skin (Thus the name "Onionskin") usually of yellow or white w/ any number of colored bands stretched over it. Joseph coats are minus the skin and generally have a window between the colored ribbons to the transparent interior of the marble. (I should note there are always exceptions as in the case of any marble) ONIONSKIN W/ A YELLOW SKIN :: ONIONSKIN W/ A WHITE SKIN :: JOSEPH COATS :: Beach Ball type Coat : Orange Joseph Coat (Backlit so you can see the windows between the ribbons) And a couple shots of the same marble under normal lighting : 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 I always went by bands vs. splotches. If the multiple colored bands go from pole to pole uninterrupted, I'd consider it to be a Joseph's coat. If those colored bands are interrupted and take on more of a teardrop or splotchy form, that leans me towards Onionskin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
