Double Helix - is a striking and reactive color rod in a 104 coefficient, compatible with Effetre (Moretti), Vetrofond, and Lauscha.
Aion 2
This well balanced formula is easy to strike and hard to mess up. A silver rich
color in a clear base, capable of producing blue and green fume effects and
soft transparent pinks and purples. The photographs are taken over white and
black to demonstrate the effects of transmited and reflected light on this color.
This new formula will replace Olympia Rain.

Aion

Fine Frit - 
New formula resists boiling and kiln burn off.
This aquamarine glass can be struck to several levels; metallic mirror effects,
creamy blues and greens or when struck repeatedly or heavily reduced strong
reds.

Elektra 2
Fine Frit - 
This rich green glass strikes easily in a slightly reducing flame, while remaining clean in a neutral or oxidizing flame. Upon striking, Gaia can produce surface coloration ranging from blues and purples to greens and creams. Heavy reduction can yield red streaks, while very heavy reduction can develop a metallic iridescence.

Gaia Fine
Frit - 
A super saturated silver opal. To strike, work hot, cool and reheat.

Khaos Medium
Frit - 
An enhanced formula of Kronos that is stronger, cleaner, and easier to strike. When worked in a slightly reducing flame this color develops swirls of blue, green, cream and a rainbow iridescence. Brief reheating in an oxygen rich flame can enhance struck color. This glass is a deep cobalt blue.

Double Helix Glassworks has reformulated Luna! This new formula has several improvements, including a lower price. Luna2 is easier to strike and the colors stay clean.
Luna2 is a striking color so work hot, cool and reheat to develop purples,
pinks, and blues. You get best results reheating for 10-15 seconds in the tip
of the
flame.

I still have a small stock of this glass - email me (grace@lauschalady.com) if you are interested.
A white opal, will develop lighter purples, blues, greens, pinks and creams. Work hot, cool and reheat.
Nyx is not just a new color but a new kind of color. Nyx will
reduce to a mirror-like or multi-colored luster, as you'd expect from a Double
Helix color, but Nyx does something else! Though the rods start out black as
Night, Nyx will kiln strike through a steady fade of Midnight Blue, Lapis, Peacock,
Turquoise, and Sky Blue. You can determine the coloration through annealing
time, temperature and placement in your kiln.
Tips: We recommend kiln striking a rod of Nyx to estimate the kiln striking
time at your annealing temperature. Our kiln striking tests were perfomed between
950 and 970 degrees F. One hour annealing time produced Midnight blue, while
Sky Blue tones developed over three to four hours. Higher annealing temperatures
push the Sky Blue to a greenish color. Encasing may alter kiln struck color.
Encasing heavily reduced Nyx can produce a mother-of-pearl effect. Speckled
and swirled organic effects can be achieved by working the glass very hot before
application. Excessive reduction followed by kiln striking can produce earthy
caramel tones.

Pandora
"Pandora yields rich purples and greens when kiln struck. There is no need to flame strike it. 'Double Helix Glassworks ' recommend kiln striking at 1000 F for 4 hours or anneal at your regular temperature for a longer length of time or for multiple cycles."

Psyche
This purple glass has been concentrated so the dark purple remains
in a surface application. It reduces quickly creating a multi colored luster.

Terranova has been reformulated using test batches TN 200/202. Terranova2 is a highly saturated silver ruby. Similar to the original Terra with red tones where Terra would have been brown. Develops copper red webs in a reduction flame.
Work hot, cool and reheat. Reduce for metallic effects.
Triton is an extra strength Super Luster on a cobalt blue base.
It can produce a satin iridescence, swirls of multi-colored silver and retain
its luster under clear.
