Opal Tiger Eye

[Kimbernugs]

Did Vitro ever make Tiger Eyes on an opal base? It was hard to capture it, but it looks like the base is opal on this one.

I think it's a very odd Type II Tiger Eye. I doubt it is truly opalescent. Sometimes they can look that way if the light shines through or reflects off some surface color.

That surface color reflection will certainly get you sometimes. I thought that myself. Thank you!

Me too, Glas Murmeln?

What is the size?

Marble--On!!

[Ric]

I'm pretty sure that marble should look more like this . . .

[Kimbernugs]

Foreign, huh? I never would have thunk it. Here are a few more pics. Size is 1/2"

[Ric]

Are you sure that marble is 1/2" and not a hair over? Because 1/2 Vitros that are not not clearies or solid opaques are as rare as hen's teeth.

I think that Ric has you covered with the Vitro ID.

Nice job Ric!

I had to put on my readers and yes, it's a hair over at 17/32nds

So it is still a No. 00 size, which is greater than 1/2" but less than or equal to 9/16". They are still pretty uncommon and l keep most that I find. I like the 9/16" size Vitros for some reason.

Me too! But then again, I like them all. 😍
