Ric Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think Bill may have had one that was over 1" - maybe 1-1/8"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaMarble Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I have some hand gathered dug examples that are near the 1 inch mark. The largest feathered slags that I own are 3/4”. Always looking for nice 3/4” feathered slags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slagmarble Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 23/32 - 3/4 feathered but very rare and of a limited color palette...would be interested in seeing photos of anything significantly larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slagmarble Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 A serious question...I'd go a completely different direction with the slag in the s&s thread so, what would I be looking for in traits on a bonafide peltier slag at 1" +/-?

Expand All I know is that Billy put this in the hands of quite a few Pelt gurus and the consensus was that it is a Peltier Cerise. I also know that when it was set on top of a group Cerises in a box he had, it fit right in color and pattern wise, even though it was much larger than the others. What direction would you have taken it?

wvrons Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 The first slags Peltier made were not feathered. Not all Pelt slags are feathered style. The question was, largest size Peltier slag ? Not just feathered slag. Peltier's first marbles were hand gathered slags. Chad said above he has near one inch size dug hand gathered slags.

slagmarble Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 German, and that's going off a couple photos As a side note all I'm interested in is some additional photos to try and understand why people feel the way they do. If I threw a couple cerise out of a box into a big pile of reds of comparable pattern and size I wouldn't be able to tell the difference and this is specifically what I collect. If there's a way to differentiate I'd like to learn and if big ones exist I'd like to see those to learn as well. Who knows maybe I already own one and assumed it was something else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand These are three photos from the posts I mentioned. I thought it might be helpful to have them all in one place. I have a lot of Billy's old photos and I'll check to see if I can find others, but I sort of doubt it. And for my own education, I'd appreciate seeing some of those similar German slags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
