Description
Raw Boro – Calypso Orchid 117. Price shown is per pound and sold in 1/4-lb increments.
RB117 is a luxurious gold-bearing borosilicate colour that delivers an exceptionally rich violet with remarkable optical depth. The original rod is opaque blue-violet, but when fully melted in a hot flame, it transforms into a brilliant transparent royal purple with extraordinary saturation and clarity.
Its signature characteristic is its dynamic colour play. As lighting conditions change, the glass shifts between deep violet, royal purple, and subtle blue undertones, while the polished surface displays a captivating blue-violet iridescent sheen that enhances every curve and detail. The result is a sophisticated colour with exceptional richness and elegance.
Versatile, stable, and suitable for virtually every glassblowing and lampworking technique, RB117 is a timeless colour that stands apart from anything else available.
