Flicker Posted Monday at 03:11 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:11 AM G'day folks! I am thinking this is a Peltier banana, size is 25mm, can I get some thoughts of whether it is please? I would really like to be sure so I can label it correctly, thanks. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crystal clear with very, very few bubbles involved. Pelt is known for bubbles in the glass--not these--they are very refined as far as the clear/transperent goes. Peltier Bannanas have some of the finest clear glass ever made in the world of collectable marbles, I love em and will continue to collect them as cateyes. Crop these images a bit and you are perfect here with images. Nice marble! Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago If you have any more check for AV along one of the sides. I have found that the green ones will have vs the other colors. I have a few red and green ones with AV. I don’t have any white,yellow or blue ones with AV. 2X in crystal clear base glass🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flicker Posted 9 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Sure is hard to focus inside these clearies to the point where everything is in focus, I still need to work out the cameras aperture, iso and shutter speed on my dslr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago 26 minutes ago, Flicker said: what does AV mean? AV means Aventurine. Yours shows some glass bubbles on the green--not AV. Aventurine is mosty discussed as little fakes of a metallic nature involved in the glass itself when it is involved with "Machine Made Marbles". Like litle diamond bits or if you are into "Hot Rod" cars--it would be "Metal Flake". This av could be Gold, Blue, Green, Yellow--or even black--- amongst others. Now given that, in Old German Handmades this would be considered as "Lutz" a true bonus in any antique handmade. I know--hard to decipher. You keep coming back and asking questions--post some more marbles as well. Marble--On! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago AV is aventurine. It kind of looks like black glitter or pulverized graphic. It add a lot of value to marbles. Here are a few marbles with AV. My all time Blue Galaxy $1500-$2000 favorite marble🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Aventurine can come in many apparent colors, blue, red, green etc. The key is the glitter like glassy sparkle to identifying it. Some marbles contain more than one color of Aventurine. Av can be added to a marble during manufacturing or be a result of a chemical reaction in the glass during manufacturing.
