The Glass Alchemy Guava Strike rod is made for glass artists who appreciate the richness and nuance of “strike” colors, while looking for a lighter, more delicate tone than its well-known sibling, Persimmon Strike. This unique color is specially formulated to develop in coral-to-pink hues, adding a luminous freshness and subtle softness to your creations.

Guava Strike offers excellent flame responsiveness and is easy to handle. It behaves beautifully during both blowing and shaping, allowing you to create pieces with evolving and nuanced tones. Its main advantage lies in its ability to maintain a light strike, avoiding overly dark shades in favor of a bright, vibrant finish.

To unlock the full potential of the Glass Alchemy Guava Strike rod, it’s recommended to heat the color until it reaches a white-hot glow. This resets the strike history, giving you a clean slate to work from and full control over the final effect. Depending on the length of your flame or kiln striking process, you can achieve a wide range of results—from soft and subtle to bold and vivid.

Whether you’re making beads, jewelry, or blown sculptures, Guava Strike brings a vibrant and lively coral-pink touch to your palette. It offers both creative flexibility and ease of use, making it an exciting addition for any artist looking to expand their color range with something fresh and full of character.
