4 akro swirls, including 2 oxblood?

I love these beauties. I took a punt on an auction, couldn't quite tell from the pictures what was in there, apart from a popeye, which was what gave me the confidence to go for it.

I doubt this is classed as oxblood, but ITH I can only describe it as looking like a drop of blood swirling out in some water. White swirl and filaments present too.

Unfortunately got a fracture.

A touch under 11/16.

Orangey red ribbons, ending abruptly. Mostly opaque, a few areas that seem more transparent.

Just over 11/16.

Dark browny-purple swirl, extending into the marble. Also seem to be "accent" swirls in the grey. Mostly opaque, transparency in base glass along swirls.

Pit mark photo 6?

Almost exactly 11/16. Browny-purple swirls extending into marble. Base glass classed as translucent I think?

Akro "Silver Oxbloods" carry this type of ox.

This one is quite small--probably a dug one--but Akro imho.

I appreciate all opinons and hope to see some more.

Marble--On!!

Here's some more pics of the little 'un, on a different background to show more definition. 

Because of the sense of life and movement shown within it, it honestly feels like a moment in time, captured within the glass, if that makes sense?

And that, alongside its tiny size, makes it an absolute keeper.
