There is lots of the famouse Akro Agate OXBLOOD on the surface of this quite highly reactive vaseline base glass. This vaseline glass in this example doesn't have a lot of the distinctive cloudy yellow color of most of the ADE family of Akro marbles; in fact, it looks very much like a large SILVER OXBLOOD SHOOTER until the UV light is applied and then the marble almost jumps out of the box at you. Then close inspection shows that it is indeed a pale yellow vaseline glass with it's share of the glow-producing Uranium Oxide in the recipe.
CONDITION: MINT 9.6 The surface is wet and shiny with no sign of wear. All I can find with the aid of a bright light and printer's loupe is a couple of clearly as-made pinpoints in the oxblood, and a tiny open air bubble in the vaseline glass.
