Each slice in this bag carries a clear sea turtle motif: a dark green turtle body at the center, surrounded by a bright yellow-green halo, with small dark green flippers and a head reaching out from the ring, all set on a clean white ground. The chartreuse halo is the most eye-catching part of the design and keeps the turtle legible at every slice size, making these a practical choice for ocean-themed fused glass work at any scale.
Murrini, also called millefiori, are small cross-section slices of patterned glass cane, and the motif runs the full length of the cane, so every slice shows the same turtle. Place individual slices face-up on the surface of your prepared COE90 glass piece and fire them in as decorative accents on jewelry, pendants, plates, dishes, suncatchers, and ornaments.
What does the pattern on these murrini look like?
Each slice shows a dark green sea turtle centered in a bright yellow-green halo, with small green flippers and head visible around the ring, on a white background. The strong contrast between the dark body and the chartreuse surround keeps the motif recognizable across the range of slice sizes in the bag.
What COE glass do these murrini require?
These are COE90 murrini. Fuse them only with glass of the same COE. Combining glass with different coefficients of expansion creates internal stress that can cause cracking as the piece cools.
How many slices come in a bag?
These murrini are sold as a bag of assorted slices. Slice sizes and counts vary from pack to pack, so treat each bag as a mixed assortment rather than a fixed count.
How do I use these in a fused glass project?
Arrange individual slices on the surface of your COE90 glass base before loading the kiln. At a full fuse, the slices melt flat and flush with the surrounding glass for a smooth, integrated surface. At a tack fuse, they stay raised and retain more of their three-dimensional profile, which can add visual depth to the finished piece.

Working Notes
A full fuse will sink these murrini level with the glass surface and produce a glassy, smooth finish. A tack fuse leaves them slightly raised, preserving their dimensional quality. Both approaches work well with COE90 glass and a properly programmed kiln schedule.
Always fire a small test piece before committing to a full project. Kiln behavior varies by equipment, glass thickness, and the specific COE90 glass you are using, so dial in your schedule to match your own setup rather than relying on a generic time and temperature.
