I had to act fast to snag this one.

I was lust looking at the one you purchased. The little squiggle in it caught my eye, very interesting.

Lets us have a better image of it when it arrives.

The OP is an Alley "Pistachio" imho. The black in these is actually a very dark brown.

Years ago they were thought to be CAC, the diggers saved the day again!

Thanks diggers!

Marble--On!!

I did message the seller about that after the fact asking if it was damage.  There was no damage disclosed in the listing and he said he discloses if there is.  Mine must be a pistachio as well at the same size?  That first one is killer!!  Should have went with my gut there.

It was brought to my attention that it's only considered a pistachio if it glows under UV light.  Since this isn't in hand and not on the listing, we may not know exactly what it is until I have it in hand.  Still a nice alley for the price.

The base is a little unusual for a Pistachio, sure looks like it might be a variant though. It's definitely a nice marble, regardless.

Are you referring to the first picture or the second picture of the marble I actually purchased?  Sorry for the confusion in posting two separate marbles.

It might just be the lighting but it looks more yellow than I am used to seeing, especially the second one.

Thank you!  Those pictures help.  It sure looks like it would fit in with that group!  I'll update with more pics when I have it in hand.

That first one is pretty killer! Second one is nice too. I would think they were pistachios but if the glow isn't there then they aren't. The first one I would have nabbed in a heartbeat even if it didn't glow. Still good marbles either way.

I know!  I'm seriously kicking myself.
