Roberto Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Personally no, unless they have truly intricate reasons, or yes, a chemically altered aspect. So, very few attract my attention. the first one that follows after the group has an opalescent appearance (labradorite), with beautiful bluish reflections 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Image #4 and #5--is that a true Carnelean? Pretty cool! I look at them, like to hold them but do not collect them. I like the cool feel of them and if I ever hold one that feels warm--I will wrap it in lead. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a real cornelian, since it is not very 'special,' but I have never researched these things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted 12 minutes ago Report Share Posted 12 minutes ago I have always appreciated the faceted agates. I know that @bumblebee does too. I will never forget the images of workers lying on their stomachs in California, grinding these down and polishing them. It is amazing, the amount of hits that one of these can take and still stay intact. I love to back light this type knowing that they really destroyed a lot of the glass marbles that we all enjoy today. Here are a few images. Marble—On!!
