I would recommend viewing these in a variety of different light sources before planning or working up a design as the color change can be quite dramatic. These are a very pale mauve-like color in my hand under normal indoor lights, my scanner light turned them melon green. It's a dark rainy day here in Boston or I'd check them out in daylight for you. Enjoy!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh, okay -- I thought you were saying you got them from someone else. Duh.

I went to CrystalsXpress today too....and bought those new colors (Violet Opal and Pacific Opal) plus some jaw-dropping Ruby drops. (The Ruby drops match one of the soldered glass collage pieces I made this past weekend...!) I may need more, too. Hmmm......uh oh ~~ Sooz

I saw the new colors in person over the weekend and I wasn't particularly impressed. The violet opal was okay but it didn't SPARKLE!!. It shone - that's all. The Pacific opal was blah and the cantalope was an add greenish color. Unfortunately there were no windows nearby so that I could see the color change. That would have sold me. I'm a sucker for color-changing gems.

Celine,

ummmm..... I'm missing the reference..... :( I tend to live under a rock....
