I found a Bennington marble i think it is called and some unglazed clay looking marbles at one of my sites, also various others that look newer. Any link that you like to show values and how to tell the difference in marble types/ages?

lol Wow i tried looking around that site for the marbles i found recently. I am lost in all of it, there are sooooo many pictures and types that most look the same to me. I will probably just post a picture of my recent marble finds on here sometime and see if you see anything that pops out. Loved the site though, plan on looking at it more.

Actually rare marble with gorgeous color and design are perfect decorations, sometimes some people make it as collectible items.

i cant say alley but its in the running...the base glass is the part not convincin me...ill find out....the yellow jackets are 3 color ...when vitro goes to shooter size the pattern gets a little skewed.....white does not count as a color as these are vaneered and the base glass is white...
