See... My bead does not go clear , the minor and one concentrator just aint hot enough for those deep purples. I did get a fab purple when I made an unencased double amber purple bead, I only flashed it through the flame and it did pop. I guess the clear on top is just a bit too much to handle for my poor minor ( the thing looks like a blowtorch whenever I work boro, I feel really cool and tough when making boro beads
)
