Chad G. Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 Not saying this is the correct definition between Akro & Christensen but they are both good representations of two different types of Moonies,Ā no matter the manufacturer all Moonies should have a translucent opalescent base, OP's appear to be iridescentĀ Ā ??Ā Wish I could tell ya the OP manufacture but not sure ??

Ā I agree with Chad--these are late marbles with an iridescent finish applied/sprayed to the outside of them.Ā Many companies produce these for the crafter market. They are cool to look atājust not āMooniesā from the distant past. MarbleāOn!! Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best need no backlighting and glow in hand under sunlight. Simple marbles--but not always an easy ID. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass must be opalescent for itĀ to qualify as a Moonie. EvenĀ under a low light the mibs should exhibit some opalescenceĀ if Moonies. Indirect sunlight (daylight) works very well as in Arts pic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just did everything in arts pic and what you said looks like I have Akro moonies (little fish eyes & turn a sort of orangish/blue when back lit) opalescent to get naked eyeš 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
