akroorka Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 At Just a hair over 7/8” This is a “Clearie” (Clear as in no color with just a hint of yellow UV reaction possible in hand---no yellow reaction here—just a gut check)—it is slightly out of round and it is an Akro imho—probably from a dig. Yes, this is the same marble—both sets. This is why the new generation of collectors loves a good black-light marble (or some of the older collectors as well—I sure do!) UV light reveals a lot—cut me some slack on the blue reflections; they are from the UV light which was deployed. The orange is the thing---just killer—under UV it looks solid and opaque. The camera flash reveals some brown in this “Clearie” which is just crystal clear in hand. I tried my best—no sunlight today—go figure. “Backlight them all” and hit them all with UV light as well. They may not be worth a terrible lot but once you find them they are priceless. They all deserve a good look! We all love this stuff—I sure do!! Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
