Libby, do you find that there's a batch difference with the color of the carnelian? With the opalino sampler that I bought when I first started torching, I got a brownish red with the carnelian, like the real color of the semi-precious carnelian stone. Ever since then, carnelian has come out much pinker for me. I've been blaming it on the glass (and have pretty much given up playing with it, since I don't much care for the pink color), but maybe it's what I've been doing with it. Do you ever get the brownish reddish carnelian color?
(This is a pic of actual carnelian, because I don't feel like I'm describing the color very well. It's like trying to describe the color of tea -- what do you call that color, except "tea"?)
