Was glad i found them,they're nicer than the ones i already had.
One has no strange stuff in the red,it's the first one i found without it.

Whoa! Is that actually red aventurine? David

[winnie]

No aventurine,I've no idea what it is.
The strange thing is,i found this marbles in different places in different groups and they all have that stuff in the red,so it's not incidental.
On the other hand I can't imagine they made it on purpose this way.

Interesting thing is that the one without the funny stuff in the red looks a lot like an important Akro Agate Co marble that turned up in the 1990s in 3/4" size but had a corkscrew pattern. Just went through a half doz. key books and can't find a decent example to reference. Anyway, they had a tight 4+ color corkscrewing pattern with somewhat subdued colors. My roommate came up with an Akro bag of them (2 or 3 diff. color combos.) that he forthwith broke into and parlayed the hell out of them! Yeah, I know....sacrilege! David
