Vaseline glass is made with uranium oxide as one of its ingredients. It can be transparent or translucent yellow, chartreuse, or green, depending on the amount of uranium oxide in the recipe, but close to the middle of the color spectrum. Also, it is highly UV, Ultra Violet light-reactive--glows a bright green when exposed to a black light. Akro Agate made their family of ADE marbles with a cloudy, moss, translucent type.
DESCRIPTION: This is a Lemonade corkscrew/swirl. The base glass is vaseline yellow with a yellow almost corkscrew, It follows all of the criteria for a corkscrew but turns into more of a swirl toward the opposite end. CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.7 or better. The surface appears a beautiful wet mint, but magnification shows a tiny part of a surface air bubble, and that's it. I probably should have said 9.8 You may click here to view the grading system I use. Size 14.99mm or 0.590" at the equator. | |||||
