Flame
Flame is not one of the traditional marbling patterns, but you see it very often in modern pieces in various forms.
It is created by first making a Gelgit and then using a medium rake in the orthogonal direction.
This is the basic Flame pattern made with an all-blue palette. The underlying Gelgit is horizontal, and the tine gap of the up-down rake is set at 1/6 of the width of the image.

This Flame uses the same rake making the same waves, but the underlying left-right pattern is extremely elongated, so that it appears as narrow horizontal lines.

This effect is achieved by exaggerating the amplitude of the waves:
