Weak Christmas Tree?

I'm not positive but I think this one may be a Rainbo - the base is not what i would normally expect in an NLR. AFAIK Christmas Trees usually have six ribbons and I don't think there is enough red on this marble to even qualify as a "burnt" one - still a cool marble though.

Thank you!

Melissa, how about a Peltier "Cyprus Tree". Looks like the leaves on a Cyprus tree before it goes dormant for the winter. WOOPS!!! sorry best watch sticking a name to another marble, ruffle some feathers. I have some of these examples, and they are (NICE).  Chuck G---

Now you are done for Chuck G😁! I am sure that another one exists somewere but no worry on the name catching on.


This may be just one of those that were made in-between runs. The marble machines were running and even though a style change was ordered by the boss, the machines kept running. The glass changed color and the marbles kept rolling and some of these were missed by quality control.
It is a cool Rainbo for sure—maybe more?
Christmas Tree? Not even a weak one imho. 
This type of marble, the weird and unexplainable gets my juices flowing, I just love this stuff!!

I hope to see some more opinions.
Marble—On!!

Art, you are very correct, on some really odd stuff the (rolled) out of the Peltier factory. That is why i liked Peltier so much, because the (never ending) odd ball stuff that made it out to the public. A lot of theories and speculation arise with examples we find today. What makes an example rare, that is the question and an odd marble that came out, may have been just a fluke in the process, like you said. We collectors and what we find does drive the hobby forward, just like a rare coin. Chuck G---
