That's good..

I would keep those two seperate from the others. If a blacklight illuminates them they're old-timers. I don't think any of today's marble manufacturers make those kinds of marbles. If anyone knows differently I'd like to know so I can buy some.

Uranium oxide is why the glow. I have been able to get a few bucks more for them at times. Look up Vaseline glass for more information.

jabo marbles often glow....they use burmese glass from fenton....and many of the experimental runs of recent...shoot me a pm if youre lookin to get some for your collection....
