Imperial all the way ! Does anyone have a spare green one? I saw one on ebay 5 years ago but my $71.00 was not even close to winning it.

I am sure it isn't right but it looks to me like a Christensen Agate American Agate. Smile

Hey taunya~~ I bet Lizzy would love it if you posted a link on your web site to here. Just a thought.

Thanks John. I am glad you like the site. I will add this board to the list, now that I understand that it is open to everyone mostly. MarvelousMibs rocks I have not felt like posting so much in a long time, and have learned more in the past few days than in months of reading amidst the unsettling weirdness at the marble connection.

Hi Taunya! Yup, John is right.........I think that you have a great site, and am glad that you put the link in your signature. Wink

I can see where Jim's marble looks like it could possibly be a CA American Agate but that orange-y red color and pattern, looks dead-on for what most collectors now call an Imperial. I believe the CAs have a more pinkish red color.

Here's an example of an Akro Imperial that Alan sold.
