Parmcat Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 This looked like a black swirl marble. When I added some stronger light, it appears the base is purple. Not sure what I have here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 23 Report Share Posted June 23 True black is not common in machine-made marbles, Akro, Peltier, CAC and Alley are the only companies I know of that produced it. Colors that at first appear black are usually deep purple, green or brown. I think this is a hand-gathered transitional marble with a pinched "pontil". Lucky for you, they are quite a bit more common in Canada than they are here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
