Need ID on a marble found in pre 1970s dump

I think I’m showing the seam here. A photo of the others found with it except for the corkscrew which was found in a different spot. Let me know if you need more photos. I don’t know if you can tell but there is adventurine in it. Found in southwestern Pennsylvania. Thanks a bunch.

First thought "West Virginia swirl" but since I  am having trouble figuring out which part is base and which part is ribbon, I am vaguely considering the possibility of it being a slag.

I believe it’s a clear green base. Doesn’t fluoresce under a black light.

Not seeing Aventurine, just fleabites and hitmarks. Appears to be a transparent clear base swirl IMHO.

Ok thanks Chad. I think maybe the sparkling may have just been loose glass flakes on the surface. I still love this marble anyway.

That you love it is what counts.
