Default ASK lavender fields + fine silver wire:HELP!

I make some beads using these and my beads have a weird green yellow color where ever there are silver dots on the beads. I this normal or just with this color? Is it just with purple? I made some using lapis and there are fine.

Certain colors react strangely to silver and it looks like that's one of them.

Often times the silver wire will fume the glass surrounding it too.

Some people are like a Slinky... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

I don't know about ASK Lavendar Fields specifically, but I do know that a lot of the purple furnace glass frits will turn greenish when used with silver, and the pinks will turn a gold color. I love the reactions. So, it sounds like perhaps the Lavendar Fields is just reacting in a similar way.

I know that the ASK Violet Nights gets yellow-green streaks when silver foil is anywhere around it. It looks really cool on that dark purple if it's a subtle streakiness..... too much - not so good!
