I'm always here begging an opinion, and I usually get one.
Pretty doubtful this is a CAC, but I have one just like it and it has those pinch creases, its been stumping me, so I am asking the experts..who do you think made these? Jabo? Cairo?...???
thanks for the one opinion!

This, and the other marble the vendor has to offer are at best worthless whacked out, feeble pattern Akro slags. Probably not as good as that. I see the "pinch crease", and (good eye) it looks just like the Japanese "pinch-pontil", but I think its just coincidence, because the other characteristics of the marble don't match up at all. ...Roger |

Thank you Roger for your expertise and taking the time to answer. I wouldn't probably have guessed Akro slag, as the color is sooo dark, but I wondered if the crease/pinch pontiling echoed the Japanese cats I see like that.
I hope you are staying warm up there, and are you enjoying the mib I sent?
Be well
