Red on a translucent cloudy white base glass, probably the most common of all the ACE family of CORKSCREW marbles by the Akro Agate Company; however, after all the years I've been collecting, this is the firt one I've come across to have OXBLOOD following the red. I can't imagine why not with all the Eggyolk, Blue, and Carnelian oxbloods available. As rare as they are though, I don't think they are as rare as this red example.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.6 The surface has the wet shiny look of a brand new marble. All I can see is a bit of a crease that covers the oxblood that is shown in the fourth picture, and a bright light and 10x loupe reveals tiny melted dimples that are all but invisible otherwise.
