Akro Agate Mint Green Slag
Akro Agate Company · 1920s - 1930s
Identification summary
This is a classic Akro Agate Slag marble, characterized by its translucent mint green glass swirled with clear or white glass. At 23.25 mm, this is considered a 'Shooter' size, which is significantly more desirable than standard 5/8 inch specimens. The UV reactivity mentioned is typically attributed to Uranium oxide in the glass batch, which was common in Akro's green glass production during the Depression era.
