Clear rod turning milky?
I pulled a 6mm clear rod out to use and after cleaning off the end it seems to have struck. The end turned a milky white color. Anyone know what this might be? I'm pretty sure it came from a bundle I bought last year at the Gathering.

I think you might have Northstar extra light yellow in your bundle of clear. This yellow contains silver ( if I'm correct all transparant yellows do) and the unstruck rod looks exactly like clear. try this rod over red , strike it and see if you get that lovely whispy purple pinkish look

Hold it up and see if it has little lines running through it... these tiny stretched bubbles are the only way I know of to tell ELY apart from clear.

Thanks. I'll go check it out, hopefully it is ELY, I would love to have another color to play with. And it sounds interesting over red. I better check the rest of the bundle too.

I did this the other day. I bought one rod of ELY and encased two beads before I realized what it was. DUH. I really need to start labeling better.

I bought a bunch of ELY once only too find out it was mislabled clear. I wasted about a week trying to strike it before I realized it wasn't just me and sent it back. Talk about making a person crazy......

Dude, that would suck. That's like someone playing a mean joke.
