Northstar Hyacinth rod

The Northstar Hyacinth rod is a deep, opaque purple, rich and intense. This dense faux purple adds a vibrant and sophisticated hue to your creations, whether for glassblowing, stringer work, or surface decoration.

Hyacinth is part of the heat-sensitive color group, requiring a gentle and gradual approach. Start by slowly heating the rod in the cooler upper parts of the flame. Move it slowly back and forth to ensure even heating. Once the glass begins to glow red, you can bring it closer to the hotter part of the flame without risk. This method prevents bubbling, boiling effects, and surface marks.

It is essential to work with Hyacinth in an oxidizing flame. A flame that is too reducing will cause unwanted gray or brown streaks. When used correctly, this intense faux purple delivers brilliant results.

Thanks to its opaque tone and visual impact, the Northstar Hyacinth rod is perfect for projects requiring a strong, uniform color. It suits both fine details and larger pieces while maintaining its rich hue.
