Description
The Northstar Super Unobtainium NS-119 rod is a dark blue glass that shines intensely. It is speckled with large metallic crystals visible on the surface. This glass is perfect for filigree applications and blown work. It is easy to work with and resists heat well, offering great flexibility.
For optimal results, work this glass in a neutral to slightly oxidizing flame. This helps preserve its brilliance and bring out its sparkling hues. Avoid deep encasing to prevent the risk of cracking.
This glass is ideal for outdoor pieces, providing great results without worry. Glass artists can combine the NS-119 with other colors to create spectacular visual effects. For example, covering the NS-119 with NS-88 Pomegranate creates a brilliant ruby shine.
The NS-119 Super Unobtainium stands out for its more intense shine compared to other similar colors. Unlike the NS-104 Unobtainium, it does not have the Gun Metal-like metallic surface. It maintains remarkable brilliance even without the metallic finish. Moreover, the Northstar Silver Unobtainium NS-120 rod is an exceptional glass, offering a dark blue sparkling hue enriched with silver accents.
This versatile glass is an excellent choice for artists seeking brilliant effects and striking visual contrasts. It adds a dynamic touch to any creation.
