Whatever this stabilizer is, it alters how Terra strikes and behaves in the flame. To me, the "new original" works and strikes more like Ekho, Terra 2 or TE-445. It's still a beautiful glass, but it's different than the original (2007) Terra nonetheless.
Thanks to those of you who are giving me your input. Please keep the opinions coming, they're very helpful to me as I try to decide what to do about the tut.

Hi Kim, I was just wondering if you have you been able to get the kind of color from the new "original" that you got on many of the beads in your "Color Archive?" I get color that's much closer to Terra 2, more subtle and not as vibrant with the exception of the purple when first struck. If you can get it to work like the real original and can get those kinds of colors, I'll be first in line for the tut.
