Mosaic Blue and Cobalt?

What is the difference between mosaic blue and cobalt? They look the same. What makes mosaic worth the difference in $

I think the Mosaic will reduce a little bit. There had to be SOME reason for me to buy it...

I've tried it to the extent that I grabbed it thinking it was trans cobalt and used it like cobalt. I haven't tried to bring out any reduction or tried it with silver, etc. If I'm remembering correctly, it's a dark transparent like cobalt. I don't think it shares any properties with Mosaic Green. Have you tried it?

I have it and it has no similarity to Mosaic Green. I like to use it as a particularly creamy cobalt with a hint of violet. Very nice glass and it does react with silver.

I was going to say the same thing.:biggrin: I like it's silver effects.:-D
If you don't work with silver it's basically an expensive cobalt.
