Real deal or no dice?

Not certain I can see any aventurine under 10x. My eyes are not good anymore. Colors seem spot on. They have Rainbo features.. hard not to be hopeful. Pictured are 2 out of 5 that appear to be same run.

No expert but the blue base should be opaque with no clear. Should also have black aventurine. 

[GoodLutzifer]

Thank you. It is opaque. And I see no clear in any of the 5. There seems to be a small seam of transparent blue in one but no clear glass.

25 views and only one opinion. Must be many people remain silent rather than speculate. I am far from an expert. Looking silently to learn is what I usually do here. I welcome all opinions. Don’t be shy. Thank you.

If you can't see 'aventurine' with the naked eye in sunlight, it essentially isn't there.  You shouldn't need a microscope to see it.

The pics are out of focus, but I would look at it with care to ensure it isn't buffed.

All 5 show minor play. Mint minus. It seems perhaps when aventurine is added the concentration varies. Here is a pic of a ppp with common green AV. Note at the deep flake how the AV is concentrated near the surface but below it a few thousands of an inch is void of it. I have a few Wigers with just minuscule amounts in the abundant black. Granted there is very little black in these. So very little to see that would contain AV. Not trying to have an argument. I’m still learning and just curious about the mixed nature of AV. It’s possible some glass remains unmixed thoroughly when AV is added. Just speculating. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Maybe a wacked out PPP. The “V” cut makes me shy away from a Blue Galaxy 🔥

It might be a Jabo . The “V” does have a little Butt Crack. It’s just twisted to the left. That’s all I have on this one 🔥

I had considered that they may be ppp with galaxy colors? 2 seams are evident. And a galaxy is supposed to be a Rainbo. Didn’t want to post a ton of pics. But I can show seams if it helps. If not galaxy colors then what is it? Cub Scout colors? Some have that slight purplish tint in the blue. And when I look at verified galaxies I see much variation in the amount of AV. Thanks. 

[GoodLutzifer]

Only one of the 5 has that swirl. The rest look like ppp but they clearly have two seams..there were no Jabo in the collection those came from. Just accept that cuz the story is long. lol. Thanks

My eyes are shot too--except for marbles--.

The original post or OP is slightly buffed imho—( it is a Pelt) buffed meaning not quite an original finish—but close.

Your second image is a Peltier—no doubt here.

Too bad about the damage—it s a “Pelt Peerless Patch” –or PPP for sure!

Nice finds!

Marble—On !!

[GoodLutzifer]

Thank you! I always thought buffed meant with a machine, or “shined by abrasion” I agree they are ppp after I studied last night. Seemingly with blue galaxy colors minus AV. The classic Pelt feathering in the black is nice but void of sparkle. It’s a nice little run of 5 similar mibs from a decent collection. 

[GoodLutzifer]

The black and white pictures were to emphasize the thought that Aventurine was not evenly mixed into the black. The flake exposes black that is void of Av. It’s mainly present near the surface only.

I don’t see Pelt lines in first picture (blue galaxy).  Marble looks new in the pictures and who would buff a blue galaxy?   My guesses would be Akro patch, Ppp or Jabo.   My suggestion is for some real answers post another 8-10 pictures of the marble with back light to verify base color. Anxious to be proven wrong and congratulate you on VERY hard to find marble.
