About Alchemy Mint, 441

Alchemy Mint is an opaque celadon green borosilicate glass with a creamy quality.

A versatile choice for fades, soft backgrounds, and off-white stringer work, it contrasts beautifully with darker colors and is the lightest shade in the Glass Alchemy water fade collection.

Smooth and easy in the flame with or without encasement, it develops a soft milky opalescent finish when blown thin between layers of clear.

Working Tip: Work this color in a neutral flame. Garage at 975° F, Anneal at 1050° F.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo: 

"I work this color unencased and it works creamy and smooth in a variety of flame settings. Quick heats with a sharp premix flame to add, melt or cut-in detail work does not bother the surface of this color.

This is a beautiful opal that will lend well to blown work and contrasts with darker colors. If blown thin enough, you will see a milky opalescent finish that is easiest to achieve by placing Mint in between two layers of clear before blowing out." - Mike Shelbo
