I am in love with this green color but it's a "mystery glass" to me. I have just a couple of short rods of it and I LOVE it.

With my luck, it's an odd-odd that will never be seen again :-(

It looks like it has a pea green core, encased in a transparent, encased in an "opalino" translucent color.

When cooled it looks marbled clear/translucent light green & yellow greens.

When annealed it just turns opaque pea yellow/green

Could it be Vet. key Lime?

That looks like an earlier batch of Vetrofond Key Lime Green. It doesn't look like that anymore, now it's more like the opaque is on the outside, but it's still that lime green. Flame Kissed Glass has it on sale right now.

Actually, with my luck it's ASK Neon Green.

Could be Vet. Key Lime, tho', hard to tell. I'm hoping it is. It's a great spring-y green.

Looks like Veiled Cane to me, I think there is a Green Apple color like that. There was a similar thread a few months ago and the cane looked a lot like yours.

The Key Lime I have looks more olive or ocher in the cane and is opaque.

Parrot green maybe?

I have both batches of Vetrofond Key Lime Green and that looks like the earlier one to me. It is a beautiful color!

It's Vetro Parrot Green for sure - from the first batches that were available. It has that funny frog-eye core that's a lighter more opaque green and the outside is a bit darker and more translucent. Right? It's the best one, and you can't get that exact shade any more. Parrot Green rods eventually turned into a lighter shade of chartreuse before they stopped selling it altogether. (or maybe Key Lime went from screamingly opaque chartreuse to a little more towards the Parrot Green in opacity and shade. Can't remember exactly, but they kinda seemed to meet somewhere in the middle.) But when it's worked long and annealed, Parrot Green is pretty close to Key Lime. In my experience, anyway. And you can still get Key Lime, I think, so if you're jonesin', Key Lime is a decent stand-in.
