"Warm the glass slowly in the flame. When you work it slow, the way it wants to be worked, the resulting beads are crystal clear." – Jennifer Borek

"Warm the glass slowly in the flame. When you work it slow, the way it wants to be worked, the resulting beads are crystal clear.  . . If I warmed it too quickly, I could feel the rod pop and see shattering through the glass, although the glass didn't actually splinter off. I would warm the glass again and still form a bead which would then include hundreds of bubbles and created a look similar to seeded glass." Read more at Kanna Glass Studio's blog.

"Sapphire matches Swarovski Montana crystals."

"Sapphire does not have the tendency to boil and scum that many transparent blues have. It is a very user friendly glass, very easy to work with."
