Aventurine Green Trans Rod 1112

Glass Rod - Aventurine Green Transparent.  

A deep green with a subtle, but eye-catching sparkle which remains after firing. The perfect glass to add a shimmer to your work. Aventurine is a supersaturated chrome glass with metal flake glints in reflected light.  For a lighter shade with the same sparkle try Light Aventurine Green. Please note that due to the density of this glass it appears quite opal rather than transparent.

Rods can be used in torchworking and kilnforming, and add an exciting difference to glass work. Drawn from compatible Bullseye glass, each rod is approximately 42cm long and 4-6mm in diameter.  

Cold characteristics: 

A supersaturated chrome glass with metal flake glints in reflected light.

Working notes: 

Torch:  In the flame, the gritty texture of the cold rod translates to light sparkles suspended in a smooth transparent green glass. When molten, this glass has an extremely low viscosity and can be quite soft, which may result in a blurred edge where it meets other glasses.

Kiln: Sparkles are more densely populated on the outer surface of the rod.
