Dark Ruby

Northstar's Dark Ruby boro is the most saturated of the transparent striking rubies Northstar produces. It must be worked in a hot oxidizing flame to prevent liveriness. Because it is so intense it can be easily flame struck. It is most useful for small sculptural accents, cane work, and stringers. When fully struck, it can yield a rich opaque Chinese red. NOTE; Glass rods are sold by the gram not by the stick please keep this in mind when choosing an amount.
