Is this Akro an auger pull? Are they common? What makes one?

Sorry for the crappy pics.

Akro probably would have called it an Onyx (white spiral/colored transparent base).  For an Auger (or Ribbon) Onyx (a collector/player name), the white spiral is like a flat ribbon that goes from the surface to near the middle of the marble - sort of like the auger blade on a post hole digger. Some people might consider yours an auger but others might want to see a flatter more ribbon-like spiral.

Well said.

Not an auger for me.

Thanks Ric for the explanation.
