Borosilicate Glass

 

Borosilicate glass is a material that is more shock resistant than typical soft glass. The strength of borosilicate glass gives shapes in bead making that would be unwearable if made from a material that was less sturdy. Color in borosilicate glass is an inconsistent thing. Temperature and time in both the torch and the annealing kiln affect the final color of the glass.
