I think it was stated earlier in this thread that what we are getting in the states is a bit different in color than the Jaspers so they were named Strawberry Sweet and Lime Sweet instead.

i get the odds that mike has agreed with vetrofond, although it is important to note that there are inevitably slight differences in the rods within each colour.. mike gets FAR more glass than i do - so he will likely have a wider range of tonalities within each colour, i basically have what i get!!!

we called our strawberry and lime "red jasper" as ours do not have the marked yellow that are in the original factory paddles.. having said that, a few of our sticks are MUCH closer to lime, but we tried to make paddles and the bulk of our light red jasper are more pink/red/tan/grey than the paddle showing lime sweet from the factory..

Melissa those are exactly what the lime sweet and strawberry sweet look like.

My boyfriend was supposed to be here today with my present....ok, the UPS guy with my Frantz order but same thing. I can't even tell you how many times I've looked out the window to see if he's pulled up and the number of times I've gone outside and checked the driveway/front door to see if he's already come and left my present. I have plans for that Strawberry Sweet....

Oh yay. I have "jasper." I didn't get dark moss agate, though.

Yay! Got mine today and played briefly. Love, love, love the dark lichen and marbled avacado. The marbled avacado is definitely shocky but worth the patience! Honey Crunch is a lot like dark ivory but does have some streaks. I worked them all as little as possible and got a good bit of variation out of most of them. I just made small test beads so I won't post pics yet. Fun stuff!

I have a little trick that works pretty well with shocky glass. Heat the end of your rod until you have a small molten gather, take a tool and fold that over and spread it down your rod. You've now preheated the next inch of your glass. Put the end back in the flame and heat another gather a bit larger and fold over and spread down the rod again. Keep doing this until your gather is big enough to pull a string from. It tends to work pretty well.

My glass came today too and also a special box from Chris so I had glass overload today! I don't think the Strawberry Sweet likes silver glass. Must have gold in it because I'm afraid it turned brown on me...boohoo...I had such visions.

I played with mine today. They honey crunch seems to be an ivory. The lime sweet seems to be a coral. It turned that gray color the corals turn when you heat them.

Yep, the Strawberry Sweet did the gray thing so I also assumed it was a variation of coral...which means it probably did at least darken from the silver glass.

From the pictures of the rod ends I would go as far as to suggest its just normal colors put through the filligrana machine.
