SequoiaBET Posted yesterday at 05:25 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:25 AM I just saw your post from last week in the my favorite marbles forum, Chad, and thought to myself- I think I have one of those. Do I? I feel the colors are the same, but yours definitely has a nicer pattern. Mine is 5/8 (.62) inch with no UV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted yesterday at 09:51 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:51 PM This is a very nice swirl--I would call it an "Alley Agate" made marble. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMarbles Posted yesterday at 10:54 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 10:54 PM Unfortunately IMHO not a Carnival. Here’s one of ours but I think Chad didn’t think it was one? But I’m fairly sure it is Some think the carnival is the holy grail of Alleys? Not sure about that but I’ve only seen 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago The OP's yellow and red swirls are burnt. It's a could have been a Flaming Dragon but it's not. It's not hard to imagine this marble with bright red and yellow swirls.🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SequoiaBET Posted 4 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 4 hours ago So please excuse my ignorance, but what exactly make one a carnival? To my untrained eye, the 2 marbles that Schmoozer and VaMarble posted pictures of look very different, as does the one Chad posted that originally caught my eye and I thought looked similar t mine. All of your help in my continuing education is much appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of your help in my continuing education is much appreciated! If you check out Cheese new WV swirl book it shows a few different examples of carnivals. I’ve seen variations but all of them must have black. I’ve only seen two in the wild in 2 years of collection hard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago VaMarbles I think your’s is from the pits. The anneal fractures kind of points that in that direction. I also think the orange on your’s got to hot and burned. Do take this the wrong way. It’s a great marble🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SequoiaBET Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Thanks VAMarbles. The pics in the book do help. So it seems the base glass can be blue or green. For sure, mine has no black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
