Description
This batch of Gold Amethyst is over-struck compared to our standard 1st quality. The color is purple, but may be a bit more blueish in transmitted light because of the extra haze on the surface. See images for examples under different lighting. The haze is very prominent under harsh lighting and especially with a flash.
Gold Amethyst is a gold-bearing, rich transparent purple. Another first for the borosilicate palette, a true deep purple was not seen until we unlocked this gem. As with Gold Ruby, this color looks luscious over white.
Unworked rods may vary from blue to violet, but the purple color will fully strike in as it is flameworked. For very small applications, try gathering the rod and pulling down to desired diameter to develop the color. For hollow work, we recommend solid color blowouts to fully appreciate the clarity and saturation of this Museum-Quality glass.
Recommended Garage/Anneal temp: 1065°F
