CiM Testing: Eden
Eden is a very dense, dark transparent bottle green. The glass contains tiny particles of aventurine which give it a bit of sparkle.
In rod form the glass looks black and if you were to make a solid bead with it the resulting bead would also appear black.
These nuggety beads were made by encasing a clear glass core with a thin layer of Eden and when you hold the beads up to the light you can see their deep green tone and their subtle glimmer.
Eden is very glossy and smooth and it melted with no issues. The glass is extremely difficult to photograph, though, and I’ve been waiting for some sunshine so I could actually capture the green.
The photograph was taken indoors in natural daylight.
