Newbie needing help with ID...

[KBL104]

This marble appears "clear" amber to red in daylight, but under a UV it is quite different and beautiful.  Size is 14mm.  Saw similar on ebay called a "sleeping red devil" by the seller.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you!  Kim

     Not a sleeping red devil. A ploy by the seller to bilk money from an unwary buyer. A "clearie" hard to tell what company since almost every company in existence @ one time or another made them. A "Red Devil" is a very rare marble made @ one time by the " Christensen Agate Marble Company" .

                                                     Again,

                                                               Welcome

This link may help you a little bit, be very weary of any eBay seller, a  buyer beware scenario.

Not a name that I am familiar with--that being said---

If you are marble crazy enough like me, back light them all and hit them with UV light as well.

These "Clearies" were made the same way as the more colorful marbles.

Clearies generaly look clear or transparent until --sometimes--you hit them with a black light.

They are worth little--until you, the collector find them--then they are just a cool find that was a result of--well--looking👀 and putting the work in.

Nice find!

Marble--On!!

Thank you for the info...Clearies.... I have quite a few (50+/-)of the smaller "red/amber" that I pictured as well as 4 shooters... all are stunning under UV light.  Do you know who made them?  I would like to keep some and sell some but don't want to mis-advertise what I have or overprice them.  I sell on ebay and have a good rep I want to keep .  I just brought home 6 more jars of marbles from estate sales found today... truly an addiction, but am learning a lot and anxious to learn more!
