Found these in the wild, just sitting there staring into space.
The red/black swirl in the center - who do you think made it?

Yes, looks like a Pelt pattern...Kinda like your avatar marble. You seem to see the tiger/wasp patterns like this more often than other two color types, but very cool indeed. At least they're saved from staring in to space (and being stared at, instead) lol

Great score! The pinkish ribbons on the bottom right marble are really red bleeding into white?

I don't think so, Susan. The pink is too evenly spread. If it were bleeding there would be more color near the red and less in the center of the lighter color.

Have you put a light behind it? I thought it was a dark transparent red base with a little "base" over the white.

Awesome finds!
