Don't let its unmelted looks deceive you. The clear glass will strike quickly to rich shades of pale ruby and tinted fuchsia against a backdrop of cool green-gray.
To strike the pinks, heat the smooth or raised frit on the bead to a soft orange glow, remove from the flame to cool for 15-30 seconds, then reintroduce to the flame for the pink tones to appear.
Works nicely with silver foil.
