Five Blue Patches - One May Be Phantom Conqueror

[Plutonianfire]

Please see photos of five blue patches.  Each one is different.

One of them looks like a Vitro Phantom Conqueror.

 

I’m hoping that some will be obvious without more pics. But if there are any that it would be helpful to have more pics of, please let me know.

This thread will let you see my favorite two views for ID-ing marbles.    

Seams, cutlines and poles, and photo tips - Marble I.D.'s - Marble Connection


  2nd from the left on the bottom is a Vitro Conqueror.  Could be called a Phantom Conqueror.  The collector's name "phantom" makes those sound special but I actually prefer the ones with solid coverage.    

The left would also be a Vitro.   I think probably a Conqueror, but it's a little different from textbook, so more views might give someone else a different opinion.

I expect Akro Moss Agate on the 2nd from the right.  Again more views could change my mind.

The one on the right is intriguing.  I want to know what that one looks like when backlit.  (Backlight, not blacklight.)   So more pix of the seams, and maybe a backlit pic, or just say what you see when you look through it toward a strong light.  If the base glass turns watery and orange then we're probably looking at a Peltier Acme Realer.

On top ... possibly another Vitro but I did consider Akro.  More pix needed.

Please see additional photos with and without backlighting. Looks like it could be an Acme Realer.

Whoops. Only included backlit photos of marble on far right. The next three were for the presumptive Akro moss agate.

Please see photos of presumptive phantom conqueror. (2nd from left on bottom, above)

Verbal impact could be different than visual.  If I casually mentioned to someone that I had a couple of phantom conquerors in my collection, I’m guessing ears would perk up more quickly than if I mentioned having a couple of conquerors.

Pardon my confusion here.  Is it possible that the backlit photos are the last marble on the left while the plain photos are the 3rd marble in that row?

I agree the backlit photos point squarely at Peltier Acme Realer.  But the other marble in this post looks quite Akro.  So I want to confirm we have all the marbles straight.

Yes, it's the verbal component.  That's why I mentioned it.  "Phantom" makes the marbles sound more interesting.  The name game  is powerful.  More rare marbles without special names fly under the radar.  

However, I actually would have this with my Conquerors without the name phantom.  The white is mostly at the surface.  If there are phantom strands in the interior they are well hidden.

Yes, I'm going with Conqueror here.   Can have different tints of the baseglass and still have Conqueror.

Oh yes, for sure Vitro Conqueror.  What a difference the seam view can make.

Thank you so much for taking time to review all of these photos, Steph!
