akroorka Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 The first one is pretty cool. As I recall the term ābifurcatedā has to do with the base glass so I do not believe that this one qualifies. It also has a sort of āCopperheadā look to it but I still think that it lands short of the mark. The other two are nice as well but they are āRainbosā in my realmāall of them are. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated. MarbleāOn!! Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 I wonder if the first or third would fall under the name "Woody". Ā Like Art, I also played with the notion ofĀ "Copperhead" on the first.Ā But it's probably more in the area of "I'm going to call this a copperhead and sell it on Ebay for big bucks even though I was told it wasn't a copperhead" kind of thing.Ā Ā Sweet bos all around.Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall the term ābifurcatedā has to do with the base glass so I do not believe that this one qualifies . . . @Melissa Yes, bifurcated is when there are two distinctly different base glasses on opposite halves of the marble. In your marble, the light brown/tan color on the one side of the marble is produced by color "leaking out" from and between the two darker ribbons that border the area. I think the base is off for a Copperhead and the striping pattern doesn't look right to earn a Wood designation either, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
