 |
|
Now here is a marble that I don't have a clue on. I liked the horsehair vein of oxblood that runs halfway around in a fairly noticeable vein, but the other half has another ultra-skinny vein of oxblood. There are bits of loose oxblood smeared over what seems to be a translucent clear area. Lots of thin veins of bluish that run from two cut seams. It is not really constructed like what I have seen to be good examples of sunbursts or starbursts. 5/8"s with a translucent v shaped window.
Because of the oxblood, maybe an Akro?

That would be some type of contaminant. Sometimes it forms sparkles like aventurine. Check it in the sun.

Okay, double checked, triple checked....still looks like oxblood. It is an unbroken thread without any type of crystaline properties.
At this point, I will toss it in with the unknown marbles until I learn more. I did look at some adventurine marbles under the full sunlight, and there is no doubt of its properties. Beautiful stuff, and a lot of the ground adventurine seems to have retained sharp, geometric shapes like squares and rectangles. At least on the marbles I looked at.
Thanks again, Galen.

Many many marbles will have the string like contaminants that look like Oxblood. some are very interesting.

| The marble almost reminds me of a Vitro Conqueror type or similar patch type. |
