supramisfit Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I feel like I've seen examples of Akro oxblood on the lighter more salmon color like this but maybe I'm reaching here. This guy is just shy of 1". It's a cool marble whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say there isn't some variation, but this is not oxblood. If you've seen someone call something even close to salmon-colored oxblood they were just making stuff up, which happens quite a bit actually, especially on EBay. You just need to get a good example of it in hand and you'll never forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I think lighting might have a lot to do with the way that oxblood looks, either that, or it's just a poor example of oxblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a couple more I pulled off Marble Alan's page. I figured I was reaching with this one but there is some lighter examples out there. I own some nice darker oxblood and of course they don't look my op. Wishful thinking haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I've seen plenty of oxblood and I know for sure that the OP marble is not oxblood. Do you have a good example on a marble? If not, PM your address and I'll send you some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing some of the lighter examples had me reaching on this marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 FWIW, I'm not so sure the photos in those pics, even those from Alan, aren't a little over exposed and making the oxblood look lighter than it would it hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris64 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 It may be your camera and the way the light is hitting... the chip looks like the color is on the surface... like most oxblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
