Question about R4 glass
I was gifted some shorts of silver glass. I think they are all R4 but they could be both R4 and DH. I don't know what names go with any of the glasses. Can anyone help me identify them? They are: a fat green rod, a colbalt blue one, one that has streaks of browns, one is black, and one is very thick clear. I don't know if the diameters matter or not. Thanks.

Are they all transparent? Here are my guesses:
Green: Gaia
Cobalt blue: Kronos or Picasso(r4) or Rocio(r4)
Streaks of brown: this one is stumping me...
Black: Monet or Chagall. The rods look black.
Clear: Olympia Rain
My Double Helix glass (Gaia and OR) is very thick, so I'm thinking those thick rods are Gaia and OR.

Green: Gaia; Cobalt, could be Kronos, could be Rocio (spelling), streaks of brown, could be the DaVinci, the one that looks black is probably R4 Monet, the clear would be Olympia Rain.

Streaks of brown could be VanGogh? Mine is a coffee (with cream) color with darker brown streaks...

I just got the entire line for DH and R4 for Christmas, so here is what my batch looks:
green – Gaia
cobalt blue – tough one, Kronos I or II, Picasso, Chagall, Rocio are all cobalt with Rocio the lightest and Chagall the darkest but you don't have any point of reference
streaks of browns – daVinci II (Van Gogh is more a tannish brown)
black – most likely Monet, but Matisse is a very, very dark blue that looks black until you hold it up to the light
very thick clear – Olympia Rain, Aion AND daVinci I are all clear rods, you will be able to tell when you strike is tho, OR is golden with rainbow/pink hues, Aion is more blues and greens with possible pinks and purples, daVinci I doesn't strike for me so I only get brown muddy color (can't help you here!)
Hope that helps.

Thanks so much everyone. Hayley great info! I have some Kronos and OR. What I thought was a piece of Kronos actually was much lighter when I pulled it into a stringer. The two black pieces were actually one black and one very very dark blue. So that answers a bunch of my questions!
