Fire1981 Posted Monday at 06:29 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:29 AM Tri-Lite for sure. But it might be a Superior. I’m a little rusty on that ID. Someone will help me/us with that one. Yes the anneal fracture is bummer. But it’s a worthy marble for sure 🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:05 PM What Fire says for sure--nice marble. @Ric is checking in from time to time--he is the Vitro guy all day long. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Monday at 10:13 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:13 PM Yeah, it's a pretty Trilite - bummer about the fractures. The dark color looks about as close as Vitro gets to oxblood. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider that this one made it down the line--past inspection and into the market--obviously never played with and into the fingers of a collector who loves it. It is easy to find fractures in MK marbles--not too common in Vitro imho. I just love this kind of stuff if you consider the history of the marble itself. This poor little guy/gal finally found a home and I love it. Great marble! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thought, Art, but I'd bet those fractures occurred well after the marble cleared quality control. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I can appreciate Ric and respect as well. Annealing fractures is what we are used to calling these--hot marbles on cold rollers. They just cooled too fast and cracked, like a minature earthquake. The inside was hot, the outside was too --but not as hot--ooopps a crack formed. No argument here from me. I always appreciate your input. Thanks for being who you are--- Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
