Black, black, or black
I bought out a lady and I'm sorting the glass. There are maybe 30 pieces of black but only a few labeled. Eff064, Eff066, and one CIM.
How can I test these so I can label them correctly? And I'm confused by Transparent" black. All the other Transparent rods are actually transparent, but the black isn't yet 064 and 066 are classified as transparent. |
If you pull a fine stringer/hold the rod end up to a bright light and look at the cut edge, you will see the 064 is really a very dark purple. 066 is darker still (intense black) and stays black looking, but "webs" if you put a fine stringer on some glass (white, ivory, other soft opaque glass)
I'm not sure about the CIM. Do you know if it is Tuxedo or Hades? I think Hades will web too. |

Either Tuxedo or Hades, then. Both are quite good blacks, and Hades has some nice reactions with silver glass. Try it with a silvered ivory stringer and see what happens.
|
I think between Hades and Tuxedo, the two Messy blacks, Hades is the denser black.
|
When you pull a very fine stringer of Tuxedo it is blue. Not sure about Hades.

People often refer to 066 as “intense black” or “IB.”
