MarblesGalore.com Gallery | Christensen Agate | Swirl

Christensen Agate "Swirls" come in seemingly endless varieties, with the most common being white-based. Color-based examples are easier to recognize and offer far more variety, sometimes up to five colors per marble. Rarer examples include Flames, which have prominent overlapping flame-like swirls. Swirls lack seams except for the Striped Transparent, Striped Opaque and Diaper Fold examples. There are various nicknames used by some collectors to identify certain swirl varieties, including "Blue Lace" and "Submarine".
