This is a pretty pink-purple color that you can go in all directions with. You can use this glass in any type of flame. For a more opaque color use a slightly reducing flame and for a nice transparent color use an oxidizing flame. Northstar considers this color to be striking, so the longer you anneal it, the more opaque it becomes, but if you dilute the color a lot, you won’t be able to get it nice and opaque.
