Well, I thought this was a Pelt wolverine at first, and it was sold as one, but it has since been determined to be a nice Marble King that looks like one. Oh well, still a nice one.
Well then, right when I think I'm starting to know the various types of pelts (and their names) "KABAM"! BTW - this little baby is dropdead gorgeous. And the Green Fizz is cool. My list of "I WANT one of THOSE" is turning into a full-fledged notebook. I've never thot of myself as greedy, but, oh yeah, I am there fer sure. Madness.
Lol, I hear ya! I posted this over at AAM and there is some debate as to if it's a pelt or MK. One of the known pelt gurus is messaging me telling me he thinks it is a wolverine, so I'm leaving it as that until I hear something conclusive otherwise.
The votes are heavy towards it being MK and I can see MK myself although it has some pelt characteristics too, but I defer to the majority and I'm going with a nice Marble King.

Hmm. When I first saw the pics I was just blown away by how good looking it was. By the time I got to the last pic, my eyes went smack dab to the seam and for a BRIEF moment I thot MK. But you mentioned the size fit the Wolverine and with what the base glass looked like, I bounced quickly back to Pelt. But I do see the differences - the Wolverine online much more transparent/pelty looking ribbons than yours. That said, I have seen some very pretty MK's but this mib ranks up there at the top. Is it a Blue Boy? (I can't quite tell what the base color is in the pics.)
No help from me on this one!! Is the base a dark or light blue? If MK, would it be considered a Blue Boy/hybrid? From my limited info on them, I haven't seen any with white ribbons? I have one bumble Blue Boy and one other but it does not resemble the glass on yours so I would have to agree with one of the comments in that respect (just my very humble beginner's opinion!) I also don't see how it can your camera causing the base to look like it has debris? Either way I still love the marble.
The base is very dark blue, almost black until strongly backlit. I don't know if it would be a blue boy or not. What looks like debris in the pics is more like blotches in the ribbons in hand I think. I wish my maglite would stay on... the switch is bad on it. I will look more under magnification but the pics make it look like debris in translucent glass, but it's not.
Blue boy are lite blue as far as I know. Favor? Post it on LOM? I say Pelt by that one white ribbon that doesn't connect. And Alan is rite. Not MK glass. Debris or not. OOK. I'll behave. Just don't agree with the majority.
