I LOVE this color on surface work!! It turns into a really pretty opaque purple & yellow, depending on how you work it. It has a very different tone when worked from DAP, which is what I think the rod resembles. I'll try to get some pics of a piece I did with it later

Work it really hot while you make whatever you're trying to make. Don't let any haze build up on it at all. Then, when the shape is done, let it cool until it doesn't glow anymore (I check by putting the piece under the table where it is darker so I can see if there is any glow left). Once it has cooled enough, bring it into the very back of the flame and let it heat up to a very dull red glow. You should start to see the colors come out of it Of course, when I work this color on the surface, I turn up the oxy and just let it strike as I work, but it yeilds a COMPLETELY different effect  Good luck!

Purple Thunder is a Momka glass and I don't think it is odd at all.
It is listed as a regular color on her website: http://www.momkasglass.com/color.html

don't overstrike purple thunder. I work it pretty hot until all haze burns off, and then I strike it just a tad bit. This is a pretty intense color wich needs to be thinned a lot before using it ( lots of clear).
Firefly, I'll mail you tonight, gotta run now
