Many years ago, I bought this bunch of marbles from a friend. Don't know much about them except some of them are sulphide. One looks like a wolf another a ram. Not much more info available.

Down in the right hand corner is an old wooden Yo-Yo. Please send feedback. Thanks

    Really great find! Yes, you have 3 sulphides. Those are rare. I am not sure what they are of exactly. Maybe you can add a few more close up pictures of the figure inside the marbles. You also have 3 clays. They are quite old. There is one marble that I can not tell what it is. Maybe you can retake it's picture. At least 2 of the marbles are Latticinio Core Swirls (they have the mini tornado in them). One appears to be a Ribbion Core Swirl. Two appear to be Micas. The pile of marbles have cat eyes, clearies, and other machine made marbles. It would be a good idea to shine a black light against the ones that have an off-white or creamy color glass. If they glow greenish, then that is just an added bonus. Awesome set! Interested in selling?

    I added two new photos that I think are a little more clear.
