I think the original Hermaphrodites would have a patch of blue or green too. This may be a newer version though.

I think this is what I used to know as a Hermaphrodite (from Old Rare Marbles) but I could be wrong.

I think the name has fallen out of favor though and I have no idea what they call them now. ORM refers to this one as a "Rare Dragonfly-Girl Scout-Cub Scout Marble King Hybrid"

I guess it's true . . . "every squirrel finds a nut".

First of all nice marble! That could be a tiger eye type 2. I think I would look carefully at base glass if clear or white.... But like Ric said it could be a newer marble king

The base is translucent at minimum. Transparent perhaps. I don't think I'll crack it open to find out... 😁

I'll stick with Marble King. Both equatorial ribbons are usually the same color for Type II Tiger Eyes and the patches are different colors. The seams also look MK to me.

Nice marble! It screams MK to me.

Marble--On!!

I'm not sure what the point of the graphic is, Boris. Are you suggesting that the OP is a Type II where the patches and equatorial ribbons are reversed? In other words, it should be a marble with green and blue polar patches and two yellow equatorial ribbons? If so, I'd expect it to be quite a bit sloppier - the colors don't look right for Vitro to me either.
