Dark aventurine blue and dusty pink twist around each other along this cane, and the wide bands of colour are separated by narrow windows of clear glass. The blue reads almost black until light hits it, when the aventurine sparkle inside shows through as fine glitter. The pink is soft and opaque, so the two bands trade places down the rod in a slow spiral.
The bands are twisted through clear, so the spiral shows on the surface and again on the cut end. This rod is COE90, hand pulled from Bullseye glass, and it belongs only with other COE90 glass. Use whole sections as a border on a pale base where the dark blue can anchor the edge, or nip them short and stand a few on end so the cut faces show as small blue and pink rounds.
What does the twist look like? Broad bands of near black aventurine blue and muted pink wrap the rod in a spiral, with slivers of clear glass between them. Metallic sparkle sits inside the blue band and is easiest to see where the twist turns toward you.
