|
|
Here are 2 types of green aventurine marbles.
The top 3 are solid, no light will pass through them, so they are opaque. They are swirls.
The bottom 2 have strings of aventurine in a darker green. These are made more like Master Mades. Am adding an image of one of these, backlit.
These are made more like a, "sunburst".

Mine is solid with NO light able to pass through... So, It is either Champion or Alley? If so, which way would you lean to?
Thanks sooo much Patry for taking the time to post your's.

As I am not one of the, "authorities", I hesitate to say.
However, "my opinion", is that they are Alley.
