"I think the way to keep this glass translucent is a little like not letting the EDP devitrify - so bring it back to glowing before it goes into the kiln. That's my theory, anyway." Read more at DragonJools blog. – Dwyn Tomlinson

  • Mint Lozenge is slightly bluer than Kryptonite.
  • Mint Lozenge has a tendency to look opalescent in rod form and slightly more opaque after working/annealing.

“On a canvas of limited edition CiM glass named Mint Lozenge, an opal minty blue green, these 11 beads were sprinkled with a custom Pendragonfyre frit blend . . . that includes various fine grind purples including rare Purple Rose to create the multi-hued patterns.” See more at Darlene’s blog.

"When the silver leaf is reduced and encased, it has an encased shiny patina under the clear with some ethereal blue halo effect around the silver. This effect is pretty beautiful in person." Read more at Melanie's blog.

"From the left, we have Sea Foam, Kryptonite, and the new, Mint Lozenge. The Mint Lozenge is a little bluer, the Sea Foam is a little deeper [and possibly more translucent], but really close to Kryptonite." Read more at DragonJools blog.

"All Mint Lozenge test beads retained some degree of translucency."

"To run it through its paces, I hand mixed it with Halong Bay and got a pale, somewhat creamy and streaky, lighter version of Halong Bay. I mixed it with Marble and got a paler, vaguely greener and slightly more opaque version of the original. And I mixed it with Cirrus which was probably my favorite of all the mixes and got a very sheer, translucent mint color.…truly lovely."
