Ric Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 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" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boris64 Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll crack it open to find out... 😁 Edited June 2 by rockgardenplants forgot to include photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 9 hours ago, boris64 said: Tiger Eye graphic 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
