I don't think it is possible to put 104 and boro together. The Adventurine colors can be challenging in some applications. If the adventurine end of the marble was the last thing you put on your mib, perhaps the marble was not evenly heated when put into the kiln? Maybe someone else knows about this color? I would try putting it back into the kiln, soak it for 2 hours and then try to add some clear frit to the cracked side of it, to see if you can mend the crack. I think with boro, some of the colors are stiffer than others, with clear being softer than most colors, that they heat and cool and expand and contract at different rates, which makes them seem in compatible in some uses.
