The Ripple texture sends soft parallel waves across the sheet, the surface rolling in even ridges over the black base. The Green/Pink Aurora Borealis coating spreads over those ripples, the green and pink playing along the wave ridges with aurora flickers. The black base behind the texture deepens both tones and lifts the shifting light.
One side holds the dichroic coating, which shifts with light and viewing angle. Green leads at one tilt, then pink surfaces with cooler aurora tints as you turn the piece, the rippled waves carrying those shifts in flowing lines. On the black base the green and pink read rich and luminous, the aurora hints sparking along the ridges.
Test a small piece first, since aurora coatings vary by kiln and setup.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass has ancient roots, including the Roman Lycurgus Cup. Today, dichroic glass uses thin metal oxide layers on the glass surface to create a metallic color that shifts with light and viewing angle. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.
What COE is this glass?
This is COE96.
What base glass is it on?
It is on a Black base.

Should I test before firing?
Yes. Dichroic results vary by kiln and setup, so test a small piece first when the final look matters.
Can I cap dichroic glass with clear glass?
Many artists cap dichroic glass with clear, and capping can change the final look. Test first to confirm the result you want.
