Description
Raw Boro – Arctic Fireweed 116. Price shown is per pound and sold in 1/4-lb increments.
RB116 is a premium gold-bearing purple that transforms into a brilliant, luminous magenta with remarkable optical depth. The original rod is opaque purple, but once fully melted in a hot flame it develops into a rich transparent pink-purple with exceptional clarity.
Its most distinctive feature is its dynamic colour shift. Under different lighting conditions, the glass transitions between purple, magenta, and hot pink, while the surface catches an elegant blue-violet iridescent sheen that gives every piece a vibrant, jewel-like appearance.
Easy to work with and suitable for virtually any lampworking technique, Arctic Fireweed is an outstanding choice for artists seeking a luxurious colour with dramatic visual impact.
