Default 141? What is this glass?

So I was toying around with my little stash of boro tonight and I noticed this rod that hadn't really stood out to me before today. It's really unusual ( at least to me ) and it is marked only as "141".

As I turned it in the light it seemed Alexandrite-ish with purples, raspberries, and green tones. It alse had stripes that looked like an opaque green. The rod was transparent except for the stripes.

I would post a picture but I don't believe I'd be able to come anywhere near capturing the colors with my camera.

Does anyone have any clue what this glass could be, and how to use it? I have so little of it that I'm afraid to touch it without knowing what I'm doing.


Thank you so much!

Karen

Do you have any idea what company it might be from? A picture would be super helpful, especially if you make a little "lollipop" at one end so we can see it after it's been in the flame. I'm curious

Momka's Silver Aqua is my guess.

Well I'll be darned... I thought I had responded to this! Sorry for being a flake!

I haven't touched the torch in a few days but I will do a lollipop pic! If it IS Momka's how would I work it? I seached for information but not much luck. All I found were stock pics that looked like an animal print.

Hi Pip, no I have no clue at all. When I upgraded my torch a few people were kind enough to send me a bit of boro to try out and most wasn't IDd except a few.

Thank you both for responding. I do appreciate it!
