A blue slag marble with wings


Recommended Posts

This is a dark blue marble that was in my group of slags. I think it's cool, one of my favorites.

To me it appears to have a pair of symmetrical wings. ( The angel or bird figure is not included. )

Here are different makers examples grouped together in the flat I picked it from.

The white appears to be only on the surface at first glance but it rises to the surface from well inside the marble. The colors match quite a few of the others in the group photo exactly. I do think it is about 5/8 " in diameter.

I think that it is cool too and these are some of my favorites as well.

The top left images also shows some "Feathering" in the blue matrix----very cool!!!

I do not know if you backlight your marbles but try it if you do not.

A smaller flashlight like a "pen" light will do the best to shine through the marble with no light blare for the eyes.

Once again--nice find!

Marble--On!!

Pelt slags....love em . After you get an eye for the feathering. One of the easiest slags to identify imho.

Great example you have there..👍🏼

Mind posting some photos of the clear/white ones you have here?  I see one top left in the bunch nearest the greens that might be something

I think I see 7 in total, an 8th marble is more champagne.

I will start a new thread next with the 7 white/clear slags plus the single champagne one soon with quality images ( Or best I can produce )

Soon but not today.

Thanks!
