I had a sample rod I used to make one big lentil. The customer wants more. I don't remember which one it was and don't have the short. Help!

It is a ruby red transparant and is fairly transparant
It is not tourmaline pink or garnet.
It is probably lead.

Thanks!

Could be Rose Blue(s) in lead.

(I was the original Czech Glass importer )

I know, and I drop to my knees and kiss the ground when I hear your name :)

What color is rubinit? I wish there were color chips on the chart.

Rubinit is Tourmaline pink.

it could also be rubin hell or rubin dark ( I have no idea what the english name is for this color, but those two are transparents, rubyred transparents)

Nope, rubinit is a lead color and tourmaline pink is soda lime. The glass was rubinit. Such a pretty color too. Thanks all.
