Hi Lizzy-

First, thank you so much for the feedback about the RMM site. It means a lot to me.

Below are a few pics of what I bought some years back from an expert as a CA AA. It doesn't cork, and of course the fact that I bought a marble from an expert, as "something", does not make it so! LOL Could be a Vacor for all I know, other than what was in the auction description.

Any thoughts most welcome. I am trying to learn all I can!!

Thanks again!
-TK

Taunya, I would say that your pics are of a CA American Agate. IMHO

See how the red tends to look "pinkish" as opposed to the "orangey" red of the Imperial?

I would say it's CA as well.

Lizzy- I see it now. --I think I need a new monitor (no, I know I need a new monitor). Changing the color temperature helped somewhat, but I definitely see the difference between mine and Alan's. Less obvious in txmarble's, but I see it! Learned something cool--thanks!

Lizzy~~ Thanks for the avatar :=)

Could you arrange the above mibs in two columns for comparison purposes as you've done on other thredas? I think it would really great for comparison purposes. tx's and Alans pics in one column and TK's in the adjoing column? Oui?
