Kimbernugs Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm hoping it's a funky pelt swirl, but I'm wondering if it's not a vacor or something similar. Any help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbernugs Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I always forget the size. just a hair over 5/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 That's a crazy cool mib. I would like to see where that multi-color ribbon ends. In other words, pic 2 as the ribbon goes up over the top - what does the end look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 This is a weird and nice one for sure, regardless of it being a true Pelt or not--I have some suspicions. The size says—not a repo—but you never know. There were a few rascals in the past that may have made this one. If there are any weird looking little hooks or strange looking black spots—show them.

Fire1981 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Looking at it some more I realize the base glass isn’t quite right as well. 🔥 RAR🍿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbernugs Posted March 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I just got a new light box thingee from Amazon delivered today that will hopefully help my photography. Fingers crossed on that. I tried to show the missing seam the best I could. There is a part on the red where it just cuts off, but other stripe has a definite greenish hue to it and it seems to sink down into the mib vs just ending on top. The base is a dark, translucent amber. In addition to the reddish and greenish colors, it also looks like there is a black swirl that you can see terminates in the vortex. But it just may be the deeper amber because some of the base is quite dark. I dunno. It's a conundrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 It may just be a crossover between runs made by Pelt--Just a guess. All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. This is a cool one for sure. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I am not sorry for keeping this post going. This one is not "Chinese". It is 5/8" and it deserves some more images and input imho. Let’s allow the Pelts-Heads to really check this one out @Chad G. @IowaMarble @Fire1981 @tankgrrl29 and of course all of you that I may have missed. I will lay down by my dish after this--LOL Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two I showed are at the beginning of the video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbernugs Posted March 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 WOW! Those Millers are awesome! The color of that one at the bottom of that last photo looks like mine. Plus, the mibs were in with a bunch of older ones so it makes sense it might be Pelt. So I'm gonna put them with my Pelts. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 2nd set of pics doesn't even look like the same marble LOL! Odd color combo for this type...I'd want to see it closer but invariably it would end up with my Pelts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the base color matters. The striping colors are spot on, IMO, and I'm sure they put the same designs on different base glass. - check out the guinea imitations on amber and clear, for instance. The bottom line is that I don't think it's a Pelt. But then I have never had a marble like it in hand and I have never seen a similar colored MCSs on an amber base so it might be wise to just ignore me. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
