Default Help me identify this color!!

Hey all,

So I find this little rod of glass in my bucket and, of course, it has no label on it and I have no clue who the manufacturer may be to even start narrowing it down. I've attached a picture hoping someone might be able to figure it out!

It's a very skinny rod. Maybe 3-4mm. The rod surface has a silky, shimmery sheen to it. It melts down to what looks close to copper green or a grasshopper green but doesn't have any of the reduction properties of copper green. Finished bead looks like a pale copper green?? All I know is it is 99% certain this is a 104coe glass.

Help!!

Most probably a CIM color by the shimmery sheen. Maybe Dirty Martini?

I think it's Effetre Antique Green, too. It's not bright enough to be Celadon on my monitor, and too dark to be Dirty Martini.

It looks just like my stash if antique green as well. However it also looks from my end like it could be Sherwood from CIM but I am on my iPhone so not sure....

Yes, I think Celadon. That surface shimmer says CIM to me.

Very unlikely to be antique green as I never bought that. I'm thinking likely the CIM celadon. Thanks you guys!! You're all a veritable glass encyclopaedia
