Ohhh! Yay! That first pic looks just like the stuff I just sent out  I was a little worried that it might be wrong, but I had someone come and tell me a couple weeks ago that I had the "curdled" ivory and I had no idea. So yay! Thanks for posting the pics Squid!

The one i have from Frantz and from LB are both the so called curdled. Both react like crazy with silver glass and have the sparkles in them. Turning the cut rods in bright light also shows a tiny bit of sparkle on the ends, if you look really good
At the time i didn't even know about it being curdled ivory, i just needed ivory cause i almost ran out of it.
The base of the 2 beads with the frit and sis on them are curdled from LBSupplys

I made a few beads tonight with both the Frantz and LBS glass and they both had the glittery look to them and they both webbed nicely, so I feel sure the LBS glass is the curdled

I emailed Jessica at Phoenix glass supply, and she told me that she had the curdled stuff. I would check with her first to make sure she hasn't run out, but she did have some.

My first instinct would be to say that looks like it, Bill.

It's listed as Effetre Dark Ivory - it's not called anything special.

Is it possible with all the brew ha ha us glass lovers are causing that Effetre might try and duplicate the curdled effect again, maybe more so. That would be awesome!

More dark ivory studying :)
Ok, so i got some other dark ivory out to look at the differences.
I have some that also has the white half moon shape close to the edge of the rod, it isn't a consistent color on the outside either but isn't rough on the outside at all (just a tiny bit) and it is completely opaque looking at the end.
Then there's other ivory that is also bumpy and rough and also not completely opaque as the curdled. But it doesn't have the grainy rough outside or the white half moon shape.
O no and this is what i just now found out, this complicates things more 
In Frantz's bundle there are 2 different kinds of ivory. I could easily pick the rougher/grainy rods out of it and then i looked at the ends. They're totally different. The rougher rods are the curdled, i can also see a bit of sparkle and they are a bit darker on the ends and have some transparent on the ends and the other ones are........ never mind, they are the same as the 1st one i described which is ivory i bought overhere in The Netherlands
Glad i found this out though.
So that's the same batch they sent from Italy to travel to The States and everywhere in Europe 
Conclusion: i think the curdled ivory is a very special batch, i didn't see it overhere. Effetre always makes huge batches, so, where is the rest, or maybe this was the last bit on the bottom they pulled out or what?
Ok, now i'm officially ivory nuts, thanks so much for the curdled stuff Effetre  
So to be sure look at the ends and you can see some sparkle and there's some DARKER transparent in it. On the outside the rods are really rough/bumpy, i could seperate them easily from the other ones.
Now i go

As stated above The dates on mikes Curdled Ivory were 03/03/08
I know this because I had two bundles. I stated what mine looks like and dates on bundles
I received my new shipment on Friday so no one has confirmed of not whether or not t is curdled Ivory
I know what I have is going fast. At this rate I will have gone through the first bundle by today and then only have 22 pounds left.
Feel free to call if you have more questions.
