I recently picked these up. The auger is a tightline with aventurine. The snake has 2 colors. Similar to one IDed here a few months ago.

I looked at that title and didn't understand a word. Then I see this incredible marble that I've never seen before. Nice

Lol, I can see where you're coming from!
Akro was the company that made these marbles. The first marble is an "auger" type. It has aventurine in the glass which is small specks of glittery green crystals that precipitated out of the glass because of a chemical reaction. The other one with the green/blue ribbon is called a 2-color snake.

I chuckled when I saw Austin's post too! But it is soooo accurate - marble lingo IS like a language of its own!
Love both of those Cheese - especially the two color! You got me digging thru my Akros (assuming they were all in the correct drawer) to post a pic - a color-coordinated one nonetheless. LOL.
