Default Unknown glass identification

Hi all

I have some rods that are marked MB in nail polish. The appear to be black, with a hole down the center of a few of the rods. One has been tested and it looks like silver glass, reminds me of DK silver plum.

any ideas?

Thanks much

That's what I'm thinking but not sure what the hole down the center means? Like an actual hole going all the way through the center?

Being that its marked with an MB I would say you do have what Alex says, Metallic Black.

Sometimes you get a hole down the middle of a rod on hand pulls where there was a bubble in the mass when it was pulled out. It will be very shocky because of that hole.
