Default Looking for a frit reaction

Time to come to the experts...or at least other frit-a-holics.

I'm looking for frits that are reactive similar to the way EDP and petroleum green react to each other, when the color sort of "puddles" in the middle.

A good example of the reaction I'm looking for is here: Royalty

Please note that I'm not asking how Linda made these beads. She has been kind enough to share with me that she makes her own frit blends and isn't always sure what she uses.

I'm looking for any frits that you have found with this type of reaction. I'm already an active frit addict, but I just can't manage to afford to keep buying random frits until I hit on the right ones....as much as I'd like to!

Any suggestions, hints, links are welcome. Please share pictures also, I'm always up for more bead porn!

Thanks for any help!

Almost every opaque frit will do this when you put it on top of any reduction frit in a fine powder size... you can play with it endlessly, it's wonderful!

Also, purples and greens, particularly jade greens, tend to react to each other like this.
