7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Tan Silver Creek is a yellowish cream color. It can yield rich purplish blue and creamy tan tones. When kept in a more oxidizing environment, you will get more of the blues and purples. If reduced, a silvery haze will appear on the surface. C3-114 Tan Silver Creek is easy to work and can take a lot of heat which makes it a forgiving striking color. It can be stretched out and is good for blown work and sculpture. If you are looking for something even more intense, try C3-44 Caramel or C3-102 Silver Bullet. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Teal is an intense fully opaque bright seafoam green. It is great for stringer applications and thin blown work. With the recent reformulations the C.O.E. is far improved and is perfectly safe to use in encased work. Be sure to run a thorough annealing cycle when Teal is heavily encased. C3-52 Teal is not sensitive to atmosphere but it is recommended to work in a neutral flame. It has no heat issues and can be worked hot and long. Try encasing Teal with C3-48 Light Blue Amber/Purple for a nice effect. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Transparent Green is a transparent emerald green. It is intense enough for blown work and looks great in sculpture. C3-24 is sensitive to atmosphere and in order to maintain its original color, work in an oxidizing flame. If worked in a reducing flame, C3-24 will develop brick red streaks. Try layering Transparent Green over C3-53 Forest Green or C3-27 Green Exotic for exciting effects. Refer to Northstar Newsletter issue 6 under the heading ‘The Importance of Oxidation’ for additional information. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Turbo Cobalt is the most intense cobalt blue in the Northstar palette. It is great for stringer application, and stretching out thin. If kept moderately thick, Turbo Cobalt is an excellent faux black. Because of its intensity, C3-33 Turbo Cobalt must be worked in a highly oxidizing flame to prevent graying. If however you are looking for a battleship gray, it can be achieved by working Turbo Cobalt in a heavily reducing flame. For a nice color combination try layering C3-26 Double Amber/Purple over C3-33 Turbo Cobalt. For additional information about C3-33 Turbo Cobalt and the other cobalt blues refer to Northstar Newsletter issue 16 |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Turquesa is a more saturated version of C3-14 Irrid and produces similar effects. When worked in an oxidizing flame Turquesa yields more pronounced metallic blues. When reduced, deep sea greens result. Because it is more saturated than Irrid, Turquesa can be used for thinner blown work without thinning out. Try layering it over an opaque to yield new effects. Also try reducing Turquesa, then encasing with clear. For additional information refer to Northstar Newsletter issue 4. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Unobtainium is a very dense gun metal blue with lots of sparkle. It is well suited for stringer application and blown work. It is easily worked and can take a lot of heat. To keep the color most vibrant, work in a neutral to slightly oxidizing flame. Try to avoid deep encasement, it may cause cracking. Please use C3-104 Unobtainium with care and test your application before making expensive pieces. Outside work seems to work just great with no problems. Try coating C3-104 Unobtainium with C3-86 Garnet or C3-88 Pomegranate to achieve a brilliant ruby sparkle. Any transparent color coated over C3-104 Unobtainium looks great. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Violet is a light transparent redish purple. It is atmospherically stable meaning it can be worked in any flame without the color being changed. It is also resistant to excessive heat, and can take a lot of abuse. Because C3-32 Violet washes out when thinned most regard it as a color for sculpture only. However, like the other transparent colors, Violet is well suited as an overlay color. It looks great over C3-13 Amber/Purple. For additional information refer to Northstar Newsletter issue 5. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Yellow is an eye catching striking transparent yellow. It can be struck in a kiln or in the flame. This is another good forgiving striking color for those starting out. If it is worked in an oxidizing environment, C3-09 Yellow will yield a transparent golden yellow. If worked in a neutral to slightly reducing flame NS-09 Yellow will start to darken and turn a semi opaque amber color. Because the strike can be easily controlled, C3-09 Yellow can be used for sculpture, beads, and blown work without washing out or overpowering the work. Try layering C3-09 Yellow over C3-07 Ruby for a vibrant fuchsia color (as demonstrated in Northstar Newsletter issue 8), and be sure to try it over C3-28 Blue Exotic. |

7mm - 18" - 20" Approx. Length Blue Exotic: The Exotic family contains the most saturated striking colors in the Northstar family. C3-28 Blue Exotic can yield a mirror like blue metallic finish and if over-reduced an organic earthy tone as well. To keep the Exotics most vibrant, work them in a super oxidizing environment until you are finished with the piece. Then, turn the flame down and bathe the piece in a super reducing flame for several second to produce the mirror like sheen. Another great effect that is possible with the Exotics is encasement with clear. This group of colors can be stretched out and is great for blown work. If heavily encased, be sure to anneal thoroughly. Exotics are also enhanced by a backing with C3-54 Star White. Try layering C3-09 Yellow over C3-28 Blue Exotic. For additional information about working Exotics refer to Northstar Newsletter issue 1 |
