A dark member of the amber/purple family, named for Sasha Hess - he couldn’t get enough of it when it was still an Experimental colour. This colour is dense but transparent, and most often produces olive greens and soft browns. However, with a softer flame you can strike colour ON the silver haze, particularly ambers, oranges, and blues Oil Slick can also be worked in a very hot, high oxygen flame for more purples, blues and pastels. Sasha also sometimes kiln-strikes this colour for more variations in shade, or quick-cools it between strikes. Occasionally this glass has visible bits of silver in the rods which can be mixed in.
