I like to sometimes call this one my majic marble: As you can see from the first four pictures it appears to be a regular Akro Agate corkscrew with transparent amber and eggyolk yellow spiraling around each other, and you may even notice a bit of purple around the edges of the amber; but when you backlight the marble, as shown in the fifth and sixt pictures, a bright purple appears in a myriad of tiny champaign-like bubbles. Then, to get down to the really exotic features of this seldom seen jewel, the seventh picture shows the marble with a backlight and a UV, ultra-violet, exposure in a dark room; and eighth pictures with just the UV light. Certainly different from most of your collectable marbles and an enjoyable conversation piece amongst marble enthusiests.
