Northstar Onyx Rod

Description

The Northstar Onyx NS-076 rod is an intense black with a slight green tint. It is one of the most saturated blacks in the Northstar palette. This glass is easy to work with due to its excellent properties. Onyx is perfect for fine applications such as stringers and blown work.

The color has a unique depth. It shines under certain lighting, revealing a subtle greenish hue. This makes the glass particularly interesting for projects that require a touch of discreet color. You can work it hot for long periods without worrying about boiling. This feature makes it highly favored by glass artists.

Onyx is not sensitive to reduction, allowing for great freedom during work. For the best results, manipulate it in a neutral flame. This flame helps preserve the color and prevents any alteration.

This glass pairs perfectly with other colors. It provides an excellent backdrop for hues like the NS-013 Amber/Purple rod. Furthermore, it is ideal for projects with dichroic, gold, or silver fume. Its dark base highlights brighter materials, creating a striking contrast.

You can also use Onyx on its own for minimalist and elegant creations. It is perfect for artists seeking a deep, stable black. The Northstar Onyx rod is an essential choice for high-quality artistic projects.
