Dark Red Elvis is very saturated, and is a great choice for a red in thin stringers and thin blown work. Dark Red Elvis self strikes as it cools but gets a little bit darker with kiln striking, or flame striking. It will flame strike in a neutral to oxidizing atmosphere, at a slightly lower temperature than most rubies.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ 19.25

TAG013 - Blue Blizzard Rod (1st)
Blue Blizzard is transparent to semi-opaque cobalt shot through with flecks of white glass “snow” that we make especially for the Blizzard colors.

Sold by by 1/4 pound @ $28.74

Pink Cadillac is a opaque and dense pink that prefers a soft, enveloping flame. While it is not really boily, they do have some air in them which can mimic boil, especially when heated hard and fast.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ $32.04
TAG032 - Heavy Blue Stardust Rod (1st)
ransparent darker blue aventurine with big, glittery dichro-like sparkles.The usual cautions against long, hot garaging technically apply since this is an aventurine color, however it is stable in implosions and encasements.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ $20.90
TAG038 - Mai Tai Pink Rod (1st)
Mai Tai Pink is colorless in the rod, but it changes dramatically in the kiln after being flame worked! Flame strikes to barely amber yellow, but it’s designed to change considerably during longer annealing at 1050. May be kilned repeatedly for more color, or ramped up to 1150 to speed the strike. Can also be un-struck in the flame after the kiln cycle for interesting color-fade effects.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ 18.01
TAG041 - Mighty Moss Rod (1st)
This glass is a very densely saturated aventurine with large, dichro-like sparkles. Limit the time you “garage” your work, do not go above 1050 in the anneal cycle, and anneal as short a time as you can for the size of the piece. Not sensitive to flame atmosphere, but reduction should be avoided on aventurines before implosion.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ $32.04
TAG043 - Green Stardust Rod (1st)
Transparent light green aventurine with big, glittery dichro-like sparkles. Great for layering sparkle over other colors without adding much hue. The usual cautions against long, hot garaging technically apply since this is an aventurine color, however it is stable in implosions.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ 19.25
TAG054 - Pink Slyme Rod (1st)
Pink Slyme strikes milky to semi-opaque depending on how you work it. Pink Slyme does not need as much reduction as our other Slymes, and is a pink-purple with the same density and milk-strike as a regular green Slyme.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ $30.39
TAG061 - Sea Slyme Rod (1st)
A beautiful sea foam light blue-green. Like other Slyme colors, this glass likes a soft flame, especially when starting cold. We prefer a bushy soft neutral to slightly reducing flame with this color. Generally speaking, if you get scuzz on the surface, turn down the oxygen and go a bit slower. If you are getting any graying, turn down the gas a little.
Sold by 1/4 pound @ $22.41
TAG064 - Blu-V Rod (1st)
Blu-V is a clear glass that fluoresces blue under a U.V. light source. Recommend to use an ultraviolet L.E.D. light with a 365Nm-395Nm range for the brightest blue glow. This is a stable glass and can be used in any type of flame.
