I think the closest one is Slyme from Trautman Art Glass

You could mix it with Kryptonite from GA or Sublime from Northstar to get a variegated effect.

You can fulcrum mix borostix lime, paris green, and mint for really nice effect...

I just got some Elvis Slyme and it works fine for surface work, but deep encased in a marble it is a good white, which is I guess about what you would get with pistachio. Try mixing in some NS Forest Green for varigations.

Ga has a revolution 33 color that is a candy apple green - deep encased it is a nice lime color
you would need to purchase it on the ga website as it is not a regulat color yet

FWIW, there is a lot of variation within batches of Slyme... some rods can be very transparent, some can be very dense and only go transparent when heated more. Here is a cup that Ryan Kremp made at Glass Stock, with TAG Slyme and TAG Wisteria. You can see how the dense, opaque Slyme he used is variegated simply with heat.
GMK, you are the first to report that the color washes out in implosions. Thank you! ~Jenny @ TAG

I love the color of TAG slyme, but I have had some issues with devitrification. It can boil a bit as well.

Devit where it boiled? Ouch! Is that in a strong oxy flame?

I alway work with a strong oxy flame, but maybe it wasn't as strong as I had thought. The piece I made was pretty smooth except for one coil which had a rough surface and a softer green. I ended up coating it in fine clear frit a couple of times to get rid of the roughness. I will try again this week.

Now that I have a formed question to ask, a few people I've asked have said that yes, they do occasionally find the Slyme to devitrify. One person says he likes to coat it with clear to prevent it, a couple of others have said they have never had this problem. I am glad someone finally said something, LOL! One of my regular testers said he had that happen on one piece but then never had it happen again, so he was thinking it was a fluke? Now we need to determine if the differences in these reports have more to do with variation in the batches or variation in equipment and technique...
Thanks, Eric!!

It devitrified for me on one side of a pendant that I made. I typically work high oxy and not on a raging flame. I had read that using a fluffy flame could help, so I tried reworking it, but it's still got a bad spot on it.
