The marble you posted before the group pic is a Cherry Ade🔥

RAR

Hmm I looked that up; seems more likely than Carnelian Oxblood - from my very newbie perspective. 🙂

Guess I'll have to go get a blacklight and check for sure. . . .

Thanks

We'll see what others think. Nice marble for sure🔥

Is it true that all the "Ade" colors are UV reactive? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. . .   If so, then this one isn't Cherry Ade; it doesn't react at all. The Limeade ones definitely do.

As do some others. The big yellow/greenish one was a surprise; is there a name for that one?

There are two that glow a clean pure orange, not green (looks more purple/pink in the pic than it is. These colors were really hard to shoot). Wild.  Is that last one a ribbon corkscrew?

Fun stuff. . . 🙂

Correct all "Ade"  (Limeade, Cherryade, Lemonade etc...) marbles are U.V. reactive. Your OP is a Carnelian Oxblood IMO, appears to be a cork to boot, very nice mib, on the HTF side. Yes, the last one is a cork, looks like a so called "snake" type.

Here you go. Ya almost all of them are in great condition. I suspect they weren't actually used much.

Thanks everyone for sharing your expertise here. It's been fascinating, learning about a world I knew nothing about.
Is there a good way to learn the monetary value of marbles? How do y'all figure out how much to pay for one that you want to buy?

Thanks. Can you explain what you mean by "the HTF side"?
