Glass Alchemy Raindrop rod

Description

Add a touch of brilliance to your creations with the Glass Alchemy Raindrop rod, a vibrant transparent blue reminiscent of aquamarine. With its high refractive index, this color captures light and draws the eye with elegance, much like a finely cut topaz.

Raindrop performs beautifully in both solid and hollow work. It adapts to all techniques—on the surface, in layers, or as a veil over a light base to create unique pastel shades. Even when stretched or blown thin, the color remains stable and retains its clarity. Below 2 mm in thickness, it becomes a light, luminous blue—perfect for subtle effects.

For optimal results, work in a neutral to oxidizing flame. Avoid reducing flames, which can cause red streaks to appear. When working on sculptural pieces that require extended torch time, consider adding a thin layer of clear glass over Raindrop sections to preserve their brilliance.

The Glass Alchemy Raindrop rod pairs beautifully with other transparents like Haterade, Blue Dream, or Grape, allowing for creations rich in contrast and visual depth.

This vivid, crystalline blue is a must-have for any glass artist seeking a stable, easy-to-use color that delivers striking visual impact.
