Default any photos of northstar uniques?

Nothing fancy, just something that gives a good idea of what the current unique colors look like. Maybe the spiritual twin to a spacer bead?

Please?

I was hoping to see what the unique glass colors that are available now look like. names like "rotten banana", "dirty lightning" and "sudden death" don't tell me much about the color or offer me much hope that it will be lovely.

lol I agree. I watch the ones that are online but typically only buy if there is a picture. I have purchased some in the past in person tho, so if those were the ones you were curious about I could help. Often you could call or email and ask if they have any info about the experimentals they are offering. Sometimes they try them out, or get feedback on them. Dave at ABR is very helpful with the NS experimentals.

I bought 4 different colors last week .

Aire

Albedo,

Slate blue

Sirius

I will try to take pics to post tonite. I wanted Dirty Lightning - they were sold out but was told it was a black color.

3 of the 4 I bought were shades of blue ( Aire, Sirius and Slate Blue.)

Slate blue and Sirius are similar n color and sparkly - just a couple shades different. Aire is a tealish/ turquoise color ( trying to do this from memory as I'm not home right now so I might have Aire and Sirius switched)

the 4th (Albedo) looks to be almost Smoky quartz black color when you look at it but is a transluscent purple/plum color when held up to the light.

They're N* Green Revenger and Purple Lilac.

They're $50 a pound and will become permanent colors most likely with $70 a lb retail.
