Default Dichroic ID Help...

I need help figuring out which dichroic glass this is. I got it in a package of random assorted stuff, from I'm not sure where...so it is a big dilemma. It looked yellow as it's transmitted color, fibroid texture, and was put over a dark blue transparent to make the beads. I have had a couple of people wanting me to make them big hole beads like these, but don't have anymore of this dichroic glass. I am thinking it must be purple or violet, but I could be totally wrong too. Any help from dichroic the gurus on which coating it might be? Thanks in advance!!! The picture isn't the greatest, it is in this listing if you need a better pic... https://www.etsy.com/listing/1182940...home_active_29

It looks like it could be purple over black.

Purple was one of my guesses, but this is dichro on clear over a med dark blue. I just ordered the violet, but if that isn't it...I will go for the purple next. Thanks for the help!!

You might want to try magenta blue as well. I've seen some of it that looks a lot like what is in the beads.

Magenta/blue might work too.
