Size and colors are very important. I've always thought a good rule of thumb is, more colors = better normally and larger usually means better. Remember all rules have exceptions.There can be a several hundred $ difference in an eighth of and inch.

Check out this marble I picked up in a trade Road Dog. It's a nice "China". It's the nicest one I've seen in person.

I used to have the never sleep malady but I got over it. When I was 37 I had a stress related stroke. Ever since then I can sleep like a baby, most of the time. Of course the VA says it is from post trumatic stress but I think that they just don't know the differance between ptsd and pissed.

Check out my latest aquisition, Dog. Would you call this an "Egg Yolk Oxblood" or a "lemonade Oxblood"?

Sorry about the Photo. I'll post another when I get the marbles. I feel like a got a good deal either way whether it's one or the other. It's a 32nd shy of 3/4. Isn't that large for an Oxblood?

Zane,
I'll come down and dig the marble works with you - I have been there several times but only ever find a handfull of glass each time. I wasn't really digging - just scratching around. I could never find anyone home next door to ask permission from. If you can get permission, I would love to tear into that place.

Brian

Brian, I'll look into getting permission to dig on the site. I've been working out of town so I didn't get to see your post until this morning.

Muddy post a few photos of your marbles if you wouldn't mind.

LC, yes it glows. It's a Lemonade Oxblood all lemonades and Limeades glow.
