I'm so bummed, I have a few production beads I have to pull from listing because Phoenix is just that different :/
It doesn't strike, just stays orange. Phoenix used to be a nice striking orange.
From their page, "An opaque that can be struck to a range of hues from peach to orange coral."

Not really anything more than a rant or heads up.
In the pic, top rod is the current batch.
Next rod is the previous batch, oranger but ok.
Last is how Phoenix is supposed to be.
Headpins, both using the same frit. Top ones are the new batch, bottom are the older batch. TOTALLY different.
