slagmarble Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 First photo third from right would be the one that needs a closer look. This appears to be the same marble in the center in the last photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 The top image far left is a Swirl--WVS. The one to the right of it appears to have some "opal" involved--just backlight it and look for an orangish glow--WVS imho. White slag’s are not too common imho--even from Akro--the bottom image from the left----I would call the second and third slag’s the rest are WVS imho. I do not see any Pelts here. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted August 13 Author Report Share Posted August 13 I spent a few days in the hospital. Finally back with the best images I could provide of those two larger white marbles. MARBLE 1 (smaller of the 2) about 3/4 inch Has a black speck in the glass well below surface. Three different lightings but same marble. MARBLE 2 (larger of the 2) about 13/16 inch Three different lightings but same marble. Clearly the best of all those white ones I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black speck would not be anything to be worried about—common in all machine made marbles or hand gathered marbles. The thing is here that I see two colors light purple and white-vs a clear base.-This does not line up with what a slag is defined as. “One color on a clear/transparent base”. This one may be a slag—but I will call it a very nice swirl that looks like a slag—probably an Alley Agate swirl. You have a nice marble here. Marble –on!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
