A dense and saturated opal green that appears almost opaque after working.

“The darker beads have CiM Poison Apple layered over the Moretti 026 Transparent Blue Green, and the lighter ones are just pure CiM Poison Apple. The darkest are plain Moretti 026 Transparent Blue Green. They all have Double Helix Gaia stringer squiggled on top.” Read more at Two Glassy Ladies’ blog. – Amy Houston Click here for other interesting Poison Apple discoveries.

Messy Tester's Feedback
-
Although Poison Apple is an opal, after annealing it looks opaque.
"It strikes opaque. It looks more like effetre Nile Green after annealing." – Genea Crivello-Knable
"Of course I will probably be in the minority when I say that I really like that this color goes opaque in the kiln." – Kandice Seeber
"In rod form, Poison Apple looks very translucent bright green, but as you work it in the heat it becomes denser and loses some of its translucent look." Read more at the Frantz Art Glass blog. – Patricia Frantz

| “These beads were made with Electric Avenue & Poison Apple, two Messy Colors I have not seen anything comparable in the Moretti/Effetre line [or anywhere else for that matter].” Read more at Two Glassy Ladies’ blog. |
“Poison Apple was rolled in silver foil with reduction frit added. I applied a stringer of DH Psyche and yellow opal, melted it in, then applied sis. I am thrilled about the funky way the reduction frit from 2 layers down expresses itself on the silvered ivory.” Read more at Carol Tannahill’s blog. |

| "I made a bead in every green shade of CiM I own, and also in similar Effetre shades." See more comparison beads including etched versions at Lush Blogs. |
"I really love that this color is so vivid it's almost neon. Even after annealing, the color is bright and almost animated. The shade of green reminds me a little bit of Effetre Nile Green, but with more saturation and slightly more yellowish. It's not as yellow as Pea Green. When compared to Elphaba, Poison Apple is slightly darker and has more blue. So it sits between those colors and has more saturation than all of them." Read more at Kandice's blog. |

| "It doesn't react with silver which can be a good or bad, depending on the look you're going for. This also stayed mostly opal for me after annealing the beads in the kiln." Read more at Melissa's blog. |
"I love the translucent glasses - so I'm disappointed that this loses it's transparency after annealing. It seems to stay a little darker and a little "juicier" in colour when encased. Overall - a really nice, bright green." Read more at DragonJools blog. |
