The colours you get will depend on how many times you waft it through the flame & how long your candles are, the colours usually start out blue & silvery & then change to green, purple & golds the more you do it,
These are all Psyche on different bases worked as above.
These 2 pics are different sides of the same bead, to show you the difference that how many times you wave it through the flame can make.
 
The cross was heavily reduced.
In this pic, Psyche beads are 2nd & 3rd from the right.
