Ive_lost_my_marbles Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago Found this in my family marbles. I have done extensive research and have come to the conclusion that this very well may be a CAC "Sunset" swirl with Lutz. I've ruled out everything else. Did I find a unicorn or am I wrong? *sits anxiously waiting for a response* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago My first thought is that CAC Sunset Swirls with Lutz are as real as unicorns. Beyond that, I would want to see photos of any seams (where the red and white meets up on the left and right of your first photo) before I would attempt and ID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ive_lost_my_marbles Posted 19 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Here ya go. I added what I think is the coolest part of the marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago This appears to be a common Peltier Rainbo that some folks might call a Sunset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Looks like a common Pelt. Point out the "lutz". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ive_lost_my_marbles Posted 19 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Thank you. I guess I ruled out Peltier because the Lutz is so dense and the sunset so detailed (from what I've seen). It feels elevated to me. Could it be from a special series? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This statement says it all as far as I am concerned. Many collectors new to this weird collectable mistake that we all have made--collecting marbles, will mistake small bubbles for "Aventurine" or AV (the term "lutz" is reserved for hand made marbles). Yours is a rather nice Peltier Rainbo. No Unicorn here my marble collectiing friend. I feel your excitement and love it but I am glad that you asked. Marble--On!!

These marbles were made by the boxcar. There really weren't any special runs that i know of, although some may have fortuitously turned out better than others. Here is a good example of Lutz that Chad posted - it looks like flaky gold. There is none on your marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to come across one like this with so many tiny bubbles and an actual sunset on the horizon. It seems more artistic and precise than others I've seen online The more I learn about marbles and their collector community, the more I realize that the study of marbles is never-ending, the artistry and pricing are completely subjective, and unfortunately, there are a lot of rude people. My excitement continues to grow in part due to others who are patient and willing to educate. It really is beautiful, and I could look at the sparkle all day. I guess it's just the light catching the dense bubbles, but I also see rectangular inclusions. Am I trippin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Yes you are. That’s just a bit of the ribbon that got burnt when it hit the surface glass. It’s the bubbles that make Sunsets so cool. If you 30x loupe the matrix you might see some Space Crud in there. Example: a little piece of kiln brick that didn’t blow it up and end up in the pit. This one is a border line red/white Cross Thru🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
