What does a double ingot look like?

I watched a video last night and he kind of showed one but not really the detail.

Imagine taking two colored balls of clay and mushing them together into one larger ball. You should be able to see the interface between the two glass globs on a marble like you would see in the two-color clay orb. Many times there will also be a slight create at the interface

Is this? I don’t know if I got the creases but definitely looks like smaller marble smashed into another

Here's an Akro DI. You can see the line going across where one ingot got caught up with another and rounded into one. this usually happens in the first 10 or 15 inches of the rollers. If it hasn't happened there, it's not going to happen.

Here's a Jabo Double Ingot maybe two 5/8th marbles transforming to a monster of roughly 3/4 inches. (both sides)

So------

You have two 5/8" marbles that did not seperate at the cut-off on top of the rollers-they kinda streched together to form one big orb that is usually twice the size--3/4".

Or these just dropped funny onto each other--who knows for sure?

These double igots will almost always show a line that is between the two that formed them together.

Like "Siamese Twins", joined at the hip. ( I do not mean to offend any one here but this is the best that I could come up with--I love all folks, respect them all and never mean to direspect any one)

Some times it will be all the way around--the indented line where they joined--which is what the double ingot collectors love to see.

Most of the time there will be a connecting fold or line that shows where they were joined with multiple cutlines involved--x2 for sure.

I have seen some bigger than 3/4" double ingots--pretty rare imh experiance.

These Double ingots are mostly from the digs because they were regarded as something to toss out and out of the norm.

Some had to have had to pass through inspecton ( especially on a Friday😁)

Just my opinion and I appreciate them all.

Marble--On!!
