Introducing SANDCRAFTED® borosilicate colors by MOLTEN AURA LABS

Our Sandcrafted line was launched in 2017 with the introduction of Moonstone, and the palette has grown steadily since then. The unique processes and formulas developed here at Molten Aura Labs set a new standard for the colored borosilicate market. We continue to innovate and challenge ourselves; melting chemistry, technology, and imagination together to create some of the highest quality colors available.

Learn more about us and our approach to borosilicate on our Laboratory page.

Dragon Claw Pendant by @mikelunaglass Mike Luna c

Dragon Claw Pendant by @mikelunaglass

Mike Luna created this magnificent lunar dragon claw pendant from our newest Moonstone, although it looks like it was sculpted out of liquid moonlight.

Mike is renowned for his next-level sculpting, exquisite proportions, and attention to detail. If you ever get a chance to see his work in person, do it. These are glassy treasures forged in the breath of a dragon.

MOONSTONE is in stock now along with a handful of other colors.

~ NEUTRONIUM, ROYAL JELLY, TELEMAGENTA ~

Our latest transparent gray color, Neutronium, along with Royal Jelly and Telemagenta are online today!

Neutronium is the hypothetical element "zero" on the periodic table. Theoretically, it contains no protons or electrons - only neutrons. This element can typically only exist under the crushing gravity at the core of a neutron star. Luckily we happened to have a few of those lying around here at The Lab. So, we wrangled some into glass form, and voilà - NEUTRONIUM was born!

Neutronium is designed to be a neutral universal accent, harmonizing with any color on the spectrum. Use a thick layer over or under other colors to darken and slightly mute them creating new shades. It’s also a stylish alternative to clear or black.

This gorgeous chain was created by Charlene Foster @chacha_chainz

Charlene’s work is consistently elegant and beautifully crafted, and this Neutronium chain is a great example. Thanks to Charlene for creating this piece for us and for the crisp, luminous photos that show off this new color so well!

LIMESTONE is now available for PRE-ORDER on our we

LIMESTONE is now available for PRE-ORDER on our web site!

Just in time for spring! Limestone is a fantastically bright, transparent lime green hue. It has all of the smooth working properties you have come to expect from our glass. Crystalline, air-free, and supersaturated, this new color is a beautiful addition to our ever-growing GemTones™ palette.

We’re trying something new this month; we are turning on pre-orders while still in production mode. This means we can start shipping out color sooner and will have a better idea of demand as we continue to finish this production cycle. We do have Sunstone BETA batches still available along with some other colors on the site.

Be aware that your order will not ship out until all items in your order are in stock.

Limestone 1st Quality is $130/lb. We will begin shipping out orders including LIMESTONE beginning March 8th and plan to have all orders filled within 2-3 weeks depending on demand.

Gold Ruby will be available on the site next Frida

Gold Ruby will be available on the site next Friday, January 28th at noon EST.

Along with Gold Ruby 1sts and Abnormals, we'll have a handful of other colors available. This includes some interesting R&D batches leading up to Sunstone as well as limited amounts of Gold Ruby Light, Lotus White Abnormals and Citrine Abnormals.

Gold Ruby 1sts will be the only color available for backorder. Availability for backorders will end after 24 hours (noon EST on Jan. 29th).

Lotus White and Citrine will be available on Frida

Lotus White and Citrine will be available on Friday, September 24th at noon EST.

We have 1st quality and Abnormal quality glass in stock for both colors. Be aware that demand is high right now and processing and shipping are taking extra time. Please be patient as we fill orders in the sequence they were received. Depending on where you are in the queue, it may be several weeks for a backorder to be filled - particularly with Lotus White. Backorders are available, including Abnormals for Lotus White only.

We appreciate everyone and look forward to bringing some new creations to the market soon!

Orders for Gold Amethyst will be available on Frid

Orders for Gold Amethyst will be available on Friday August 6th at noon EST until noon on August 7th. If the stock sells out, you can place a backorder and still get the color within this current run. Backorders typically ship out within 1-2 weeks of ordering. If you are on the email list for this newsletter and/or the notifications list for a particular color on our site, you will get notified when that color is in stock.

Additionally, an Amethyst variant called Gold Violet will be available. We ran some custom batches for those of you wanting a transparent purple that leans more blueish and less reddish.
Also, there is a limited variety of Abnormals that will be posted, including Telemagenta and Royal Jelly. Our Abnormals are free of stones and are still high quality glass. The rods are typically out of round, short, thick or thin, or have minimal air or surface flaws.

Lastly, we are excited to announce that Lotus White is officially back in production! We are stocking up now and plan to have another announcement soon when we have an exact drop date. Stay tuned!

Sunstone is a transparent, kiln-striking, candy-orange GemTone™

This glass works smoothly in a wide range of flame types, but a neutral flame is typically advised. The color may start to show up as you work your piece and have it in and out of the kiln at various stages. Then a final annealing will bring out the full color.

Ideal orange color saturation is formed around 6 hours at 1075°F. Similar results can be achieved at 1100°F for 4 hours or 1050°F for 8 hours depending on your setup. Overstriking may lead to more amber tones and some haze may develop in thick and/or highly worked areas. We suggest testing some small worked parts to determine what times and temps work best with your particular working style and kiln.

For the cleanest look, blowouts are preferable to coilpots.

(actual update 😉

Of course we are not giving up on glass production - just having a little April fools day fun. Although that Ruby Gin idea is kind of interesting...🤔

Actually we've been quite busy these past months behind the scenes. We're adding more equipment and upgrades to our facility as well as doing tons of R&D so we can better position ourselves for the future while keeping the palette fresh and interesting. There are several new things in the works that we'll be able to share soon. And yes, we're working on Lotus White, but no official ETA yet.

Royal Jelly will be available on Monday, April 5th at noon (EST). Once again, no one needs to worry about missing out. If the initial stock runs out quickly, you still have a full day to put an order in. It will simply be tagged as a backorder and will ship out within a few weeks, depending on demand. Additionally, we have a decent amount of Abnormals that will be available.

Images above show an epic collab between @saltglass and @mikelunaglass that includes a bunch of Royal Jelly. It shows off the masterful sculpting and texturing of these two phenomenal glass artists. Photos by @salteyelens

Critical Update: After a decent run, Molten Aura

Critical Update:

After a decent run, Molten Aura Labs is shutting down it's glassmaking operations. Due to a number of completely predictable circumstances we are selling off all of our equipment and will be publishing our color formulas in an upcoming book entitled "From Glass to Gin"

That's right, we've decided to start making booze. Our first batch of liquor is a ruby colored gin, infused with juniper and 24k gold. Prices start at $160 per bottle.

Thanks to all of our glass customers over the years. If anyone has a gin bottle design they'd like to propose, we're accepting submissions now.

Here's to the new roaring '20's!
