Alley Agate Selenium Ghost Swirl
Alley Agate Company · St. Marys Period (1932-1949)
Identification summary
This marble is a classic example of Alley Agate's production from their St. Marys, West Virginia facility. It features a characteristic 'Ghost' base—a translucent glass that is not quite clear but not opaque. The combination of blue and Selenium-based red swirls is a highly collectible color scheme, particularly due to the UV reactivity of the red glass.
