Description
Raw Boro – Whirlpool Swirl X192. Price shown is per pound and sold in 1/4-lb increments.
RBX192 is a highly reactive silver-bearing borosilicate colour that develops an extraordinary iridescent surface through oxidation. The base glass produces an intense silver reaction, revealing brilliant blue, green, and golden-yellow tones with exceptional depth and movement.
Repeated reheating in an oxidizing flame encourages additional silver oxide formation, creating increasingly vivid metallic layers and enhancing the colour complexity. Depending on flame work and application thickness, the surface can display shimmering iridescence with striking transitions between cool blues, emerald greens, warm golds, and subtle metallic reflections.
Perfect for artists who enjoy flame-reactive colours, Whirlpool Swirl delivers dramatic silver effects while remaining versatile for a wide range of lampworking techniques.
