This one breaks rules

Okay so I have a marble here that has a typical 9 and tail pattern as you would see in M.F. And CAC slags however the white in it is transparent. What are y’all’s thoughts? Do we keep to the rules of a slag being made up of transparent colored base with opaque white swirls? I think it’s been said that all hand gathered were slags? ( I very well may be completely wrong about all hand gathered are slags though I feel pretty confident I read something similar somewhere). I find this one to be an anomaly and remain interested in hearing from those that are more experienced than I. Without further ado, here is the marble.

Nope, Hand-gathered marbles are not 'only slags' I agree with RaR, because Akro turned out a lot of nine patterns shaped like this.

As far as i know,

Looks like it could possibly be a hand gathered CAC American Agate to me, with that type of glass/pattern/colors.

As far as I know, American Agates are pretty much opaque marbles - maybe a little translucence, but I think it would be very unusual to see one with this much transparency. I think the color is off too - AAs are more red.

Speakin of the OP--well-- I am not convinced that it is not an Orange based swirl, which are pretty common and made by a whole bunch of folks.

Some are bound to be wild and crazy.

Then again, I am not convinced that it is not a slag😁.

Nice marble!

Marble--On!!
