Akro Moonie?

[SequoiaBET]

It has a slight opalescence, makes an orange dot when light is shined thru it (as seen in the last pic), and no UV.

It's 5/8 (.62) inches.

I’ll say yes. It’s definitely not a Flintie🔥

Thanks Chad (and Fire). I did see that graphic and read other posts here as well about Moonies. Some of them seemed to leave more questions than answers, for me at least. That's where I got the tip about shinning a light thru it to see the color spot it leaves. (Moonie shows orange, flint moonie shows red.) Also, mine does not have a "fish eye" as far as I can tell. I read that many moonies do, but that it is not a requirement. 

So @Chad G., do you think mine is an Akro Moonie? It certainly looks like the Akro in the graphic you posted. And any thoughts on the lack of a fish eye?

Akro "Moonies" vs CAC "Moonies".
This is always an interesting discussion for me.
I researched Akro“Flinties” for many years.
The white ones were always a hard find for me.
I came to the conclusion that the Akro white “Flinties” and “Moonies” were the same thing.

Now comes the Cac vs Akro thing---There is no doubt a slight difference that could /maybe be told in hand.
My advice, Take it to a show and find a CAC collector—and an Akro collector.
Nice marble non-the-less and a very good ask here.

Marble—On!!

yes yours is  a moonie type IMO, several companies made moonie (opalescent)  type glass, not just Akro & Christensen, I never collected either so just had examples moonie types laying around. Have to be in hand for me and even then I'm no moonie expert. To my knowledge an Akro moonie has to have fish eyes as akroorka says like a flintie as I believe one is.
