Aurora

Aurora is the most unique member of the exotic family. It is the most versatile of the group and produces a wide array of colors from deep magentas and fuchsias to greens and fiery browns. When worked in a highly oxidizing flame Aurora produces deep purples and blues. When worked in a neutral flame Aurora yields bright greens and ambers. When heavily reduced the reds and browns appear. It is well suited for stringer applications and blown work. It looks great cased with clear. Also be sure to try encasing Aurora with Amber/Purple.
