About Experimental Silver #6

Experimental Silver #6 was developed to offer a more affordable silver option as silver prices climbed.

This reactive silver borosilicate glass delivers an extra-rich amber-to-purple strike, ranging from pale yellows and warm ambers to deep, vibrant purples depending on flame atmosphere and kiln time.

Originally released as part of the Experimental Silver series, #6 became a standout favorite and is now part of the permanent lineup.

At $39/lb, it offers a dramatic silver strike at a fraction of the cost of many comparable colors.

Looking for the same striking reaction on a cobalt blue base? Exp. Blue Silver #6 is now available.

Working Tip: Get this color white hot to erase the striking history. A variety of effects are achievable depending on how long you flame/kiln strike. For the strongest purples, work in a hot neutral to slightly oxidizing flame. Reduction will affect the strike and shift the final result.

Test Lab Graduate: Originally released through the GA Test Lab, this color has officially graduated into the Glass Alchemy permanent palette. The formula and QC parameters are finalized, and you can count on it as part of our ongoing lineup.
