Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Testers report that Crocus shifts in color depending on the type of lighting.
  • Crocus is unique to the 104 lampworking palette.
"Crocus is a bright, basically neon, purple. There are no other colors out there that even come close to Crocus in the purple department. In my experience, it keeps its neon color best when it is not layered over white, or when the layer of Crocus is kept thick." – Bethany Lemasters
  • Special thanks to Elasia (x3), Bethany Lemasters, & Genea Crivello-Knable for providing the photos in this section.

“Crocus etches normally. This bead was put in etching solution for 12 minutes."
– Genea Crivello-Knable
"A nice strong colour too - didn't wash out the way Heffalump did. But, pay attention when photographing it. You might have to follow the light around the house to get good pictures." Read more at DragonJools blog.
