When I quote someone, the translator automatically converts it into Italian and I should convert it back but sometimes,...many times, I don't pay attention and send it in Italian (fortunately not the reply...usually) It has probably happened several times and I apologize to everyone for this inconvenience laero21, thank you for your attention,..cute 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberto Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago 15 hours ago, laero21 said: May I see more photos of this one you show? And is it true there is never sparkler peewees? Oh,..unfortunately this marble is not mine, these are photos that I archived a long time ago. Well, the sparklers Akros generally have a diameter between 5/8 and 3/4, but it remains to be seen if smaller ones not exist. Who is 100% sure? Also regarding the Christensen Agate (cac), in the past it was said that this company had not produced shooters, and instead it turned out that they exist, even if in smaller quantities, compared to the smaller ones. So, who can say for sure about your peewee? By the way, what size is it? 1/2? In my opinion, it is an Akro, definitely rare at that small size. These seams in the first photo I show you are from Akro, not Master, in my opinion. The structure in the second photo tells me Akro. The third and fourth photos show two Akro that could resemble yours, even if only slightly, then you will draw your own conclusions. This is just my opinion, I could also be wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect Randy’s opinion for sure. If you trust him, send it to him for a proper ID. This one even includes some Akro Oxblood imho--a very cool marble even in the normal size. It would be more believable if it were measured @ 9/16”. There is always a measure of “ones that were missed” by quality control. These smaller ones never act the same as the larger ones. Generally when you find a "Sparkler" this small, it has been re-worked or polished--a bummer from my perspective. Yours has obviously not been re-worked. You keep this one apart and if you ever get to a Marble—Show—take it along for an ID. Nice marble—I will stick with Akro—a “Sparkler. This is my best---- Marble—On!!
