Default Vetrofond River Rock

Could someone tell me if river rock glass is just an intense dark ivory with lots of crackle or is there something else I can do with it? Any info will be appreciated.

thanks.

It's something else! Here, in fact, is a "faux" recipe for river rock that you might find interesting.

I find it has the slightest green tint to it. I love how it reacts with silver. It looks like a sandy Maine beach.

It's a super pretty glass... especially if you love dark ivory, which of course I am hopelessly addicted to.

The more you work it, the better it looks. It also has the consistency of dark ivory. Yes, to greenish tinge. It was supposedly a "bad" batch of avocado. There were 2 batches that I know of. I loved the first one that has a rough surface, but there is also the 2nd batch with the smooth surface.
