Those are lovely! In the set, what is the powder on the two on the ends?

Thank you, Kalera! It's Z773 Pistachio Green (I think - it's unmarked but a friend told me it looked like the Z773 she got) and Z611 Rich Pink.
I got lots of Z611 - would you like some? PM me your addy and I will send you a baggie!

Oh, I love Z-850 (lilac) too. Just a tad lighter and bluer than Z-99.
Here is a new set with Z-850 frit on top of System 96 Firelight and combined with Reichenbach Olive and Reichenbach Sari Blue.

Yeah, it's really lovely on the Firelight, which is a semi-opaque similar to CIM Marshmallow.
The lilac looks brighter on this glass than on some other base colors.

So what happened here?
Hint: I used one Zimmermann color as base bead, and one other Zimmermann color as frit
(sorry about crappy shape, it was just a fast & furious test at the end of the torching session)
Z-350C Silver Crystal base with Z-99 frit. Yeap, the purple turned into jade green after reducing!

Whatever you did Judith, it's very cool! I love the color combination and the reaction. Is the base a reduction color? I can't tell if the shine is from reduction or just lighting. But it's pretty!

Any ideas on what to price Z-673 Metallic Blue frit per ounce? It's size 4, the only size OCR had left but I had to get more than I needed to meet the minimum. I know Z-99 is going for $15 ounce now but don't have a clue the going rate for other Zimmerman colors. Z-673 is a reduction color.

Kimberly that is gorgeous. I just got some 851 and I like it better than z 99.

It's Z-350C Silver Crystal base with Z-99 frit, reduced to a golden shine.
Yeap, the purple turned into jade green after reducing!

Hayley, I love the organic look you got, especially on that hollow.
Judith, gorgeous purples!
Love that focal Kimberly. I have one that is similar that I made in your class a few years ago. It's one of my favorites.
I've dug out some of my old Z frits and played around with them. It's so fun to revisit this. I gave up on them before because of the devit, but now I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Thank you everyone! The frit was labeled as Z99, but it doesn't look like any of the other Z99 I have. Could it be 851 by chance? I have never seen it before. Here's what the frit looks like:
Also I used a little Z-74, Dense White, on the surface to brighten it up a bit.

I have seen posts in other threads that mention Z-99 being green occasionally.

Wow, what's the color you used on the two that are next to the end ones?
That is one gorgeous combo!

That's Z99, it can be green in frit and then go purple on the bead. I love my Z850. It's a bit more blue and priced more reasonably. I keep hoping someone will finally convince the Zimmerman family to sell the recipes.
