If you etch glass that has not been lampworked or annealed, will you get a similar look to a finished bead?
My thought was to nip a 1" piece of each color, and etch 1/2 of it, then put them in numerical order on a piece of foam board or something similar to have a readily available "chart" but I'm not sure if it would show correctly.

I do know, of course, that it wouldn't work for glass that changes in the flame colorwise. Maybe for those I could melt some, and pull a short fat piece to use.

PS. I would normally tumble, but can't figure out a way to tumble only 1/2 of a piece of glass.
