Great results!!! Looks like just the perfect alternative to Aether.
I can't wait to test it. I returned only today from my Germany trip, but I hopefully have time on the weekend to do a few test beads. Will post my results here!

This is just black with fine silver encased in Aether...only a little bit of the gold reaction on one edge...
And here it is encasing Lori and Kim murrini...

This is a great clear! I tested it with some of the Test Batches of silver glass and love how it keeps the true color and the MOP shine!
First Beads are OX-376 shaped and encased with the Zephyr these beads have a gorgeous shine due to the clear
Next is straight KA-356 slight to moderate reduction encased in the Zephyr. All I can say is no other clear gave me these electric berry colors I am in love with Zephyr!
Lastly, Triton over E.L.O. swirled, reduced (moderately) and encased then reheated and pressed
I promise all of you this is simply the best clear I have EVER used!

As for melting- I love it! I realized that my Aether was just as soft but the combo of the true to life colors and the buttery melting is beyond words- at first I thought it was a bit too soft but then realized how much I had just been working with crappy clears till this Jed, make more LOTS more!!! You make it, we will buy it!

It looks very nice to me, I love aether, the price is a bit steep. will this be as expensive?
that's a big factor for many of us.
I would love to be a tester, how fun! lucky you

Yes! These are stunning beads. Thanks for showing us.

Apparently you had to have done a lot of bitching to get some to test.

I always operate on the premise that all good things come to those who wait.

I completely agree - Zephyr is lovely. Just a bit stiffer than Aether but plenty buttery after it's melted. No green cast with silver leaf and reduction glasses and little haze either. The sample I have is very high quality, bubble and scum free, and no compatibility issues so far. I'll post some side by side examples this weekend.
I like Aether's effects for some uses and Zephyr's for others. They mix nicely, too. I hope both end up part of the long-term production line - it would cover the A to Z of 104 clears

How gorgeous! Has anyone tried Zephyr with Aurae? I've gotten a green cast using lauscha clear and Aurae. I hope zephyr stays unreactive
