Oceanside Aventurine Blue (style OGT138AVF) is System 96 tested-compatible 96 COE fusible sheet glass, a deep blue packed with fine aventurine sparkle.
Appearance
A dark, near-black blue alive with tiny aventurine flecks, fine metallic crystals that glitter across the surface. Held to the light the base reads deep transparent blue; direct light picks up a blue and silver sparkle for a dense, starfield effect.
Working notes
The aventurine sits within the glass, so it survives a full fuse and stays visible. As a dark transparent it looks almost black over an opaque base and shows its blue when light passes through, so try it over white or clear. A tack fuse keeps dimension; a full fuse gives a smooth glittering surface.
Reactions
This color is not on the System 96 reactive list, so it sits next to other colors without forming a reaction line. See the System 96 Reactive Color Chart for the colors that do react.
Format and sizes
Sold as 3mm sheet glass. Choose your size from the options on this page.
Fusing and compatibility
It fuses cleanly with any other 96 COE product in the System 96 family. With glass from other makers, matching COE alone does not guarantee compatibility, so test-fire a small tile first.
