I'llhavethat1 Posted Monday at 12:32 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:32 AM I'm terrible with these but Carnelian was the first name that came to me (now I need to go search). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted Tuesday at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:32 AM The top middle I consider to be 'Imperial'. They all have varying degrees of translucency. Or maybe now I'm confusing Imperial with Ringer. arg. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think so--The "Ringers" could be considered as Imperials--just boxed differently with a name attached by Akro. Good insight and research! I think that the top middle one is just a very nice Corkscrew although I have seen these boxed as “Imperials” as well. Check the ones with the dark lines for oxblood, they may be Carnelian Oxbloods—they will not glow in my experience. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

As I remember, and I could be wrong, Ringers were essentially like corking Aces/Imperials so you may be very close, actually. @akroorka I agree, I think Imperials, Aces and Ringers are all basically the same marble in different configurations, and marketed in different ways, similar to Moss Agates, which also come in spiraling and non-spiraling variations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted Wednesday at 07:04 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 07:04 PM Here is an old link that really got no-where discussing the same thing. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/5124-akro-ades-and-some-misconceptions/ The Ades thing is a must read.. what they did not discuss was that some of the ades that were boxed included marbles that included glass that would not mix with the glowey stuff. All glass colors do not get along with each other. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
