Kimbernugs Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I came across this cat's eye 9/16" and it looks funky to me in that it's a "partial hybrid". It has 2 yellow V-shaped vanes and 4 orange vanes, and only the orange exhibit hybrid colors. The 2 yellow V shaped vanes are just yellow. It seems like the cat's eyes I've seen are either all vanes in on the hybrid action, or none of them are. This is almost like 2 different types of cat's eyes combined. Is this something any of you have seen before? Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 I don't think a bit of additional color is too unusual, even if it shows up only on one vane - looks cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 x2, agree, still a very nice mib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 This is a nice cat Kimberbugs--very nice. The blueish cast to the base glass makes me think Japenese. The Japenese marbles are not usually this thick. I am not able to give a good ID--Just this--a real keeper! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just an after thought--Vacor made some killer cats! Still do! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbernugs Posted June 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 It's something to note that this marble was in the lot of all those Vitros I posted earlier. When I was going thru them, this one stood out to me. I also got a Japanese vibe but the orange fat vanes look Vitro. It is just a conundrum. But I do agree it is unusual and a keeper. The base glass is clear and I think the blueish hue was from background stuff. Thanks for your input! I appreciate you all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree with conundrum and keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
