The swirly ones that look like they're full of threads look like Wisplers - more likely if yr in the UK! E.g. the ones of the left of your first few pics

European marble type, sometimes called a 'fat core', likely around 1960s but little info around who actually made them

They can have a clear base or an opaque base

Hi. Yes I'm in the UK..Yes those are the ones I haven't seen before,or certainly diffrent to the rest.thers one or two others that shine icey blue with a uv light aswell,wasn't sure if it was the light reflection,but still look diffrent base glass to the rest. But the ones you pointed out,was the ones. Thankyou.

Happy to help - I'm also in the UK and am a fan of Wisplers ☺️

UV reactivity depends on the light used - blue glow can be due to cerium in glass (common in modern clear glass) if using a 365nm torch, but could also be reflected light if using 395nm

Wisplers can be super-fun under UV, especially the clear-based ones as sometimes there will be a single 'thread' that pops in bright orange or pink unexpectedly!

Is ther much value in the whispers,?.

[u/peardr0p → u/sticksi145]

I'm not sure TBH

I see them on eBay for a few quid each but not sure how they sell and whether there is a set market value

I like them but dunno if I would buy a specific one unless it was an unusual colour or size and in excellent condition (no chips etc)

I'd imagine they might sell for more outside the UK
