Here is one of my favorites: an Akro Agate Carnelian Oxblood. The base glass is a cloudy translucent milky-white. On and just below the surface are corkscrews of a mildly flourescent opaque white, transparant brown or carnelian, and rich oxblood, one of the few I've seen with the oxblood not right on the surface. I guess I'd have to say there's four colors present. I've never seen a better example.
CONDITION: MINT 9.6 The surface is pristine. There is not the slightest hint of wear of any kind. Under a bright light and 10x lens, you can see two melted, clearly as-made, short roller-like marks or something, not scratches, in the second picture.
