Details

NS152 Galaxy is the first collaborative effort between Northstar Glass & Trautman Art Glass to produce a new color in rod. This color was formulated from the iconic NS125 Jet Black base along with the amazing sparkle from the Trautman Stardust family. Very durable & easy to use with a beautiful balance of dense black and heavy sparkle. Safe for encasement, though not recommended for millefiori or deep encasement. Use an oxidizing flame to prevent any gray streaks caused from reductive environment.

Buttery smooth sparkle

Fabulous color

by

Northstar Galaxy is my new favorite backing color for pendants. Melts like butter and doesn't reduce easily and looks great.

Black but better

by

The perfect black sparkle color

Awesome color

One of my favorite colors! Melts buttery and smooth. Use higher oxy to avoid blue haze/streaks

Galaxy

Love galaxy, why use black when you can use sparkle black?

My go to backer for marbles. Really helps the dichro pop!

No more stardust over black for me 😂

by

Stable black with sparkles for many different applications. Holds some of its density when thinned out and I have been able to implode it with no issues! Part of my permanent pallet now.

Easy to work and sparkly!

by

This is a staple in my arsenal. Hands down my most favorite black and it’s sparkly! For such a dense color it works like butter… or a taffy lol.

this is an amazing color

by

Absolutly amazing to work with easy melt in and encasing and looks amazing under bright light with the sparkle!

Buttery sparkles

by

What’s not to love about this buttery goodness of sparkles!

Black with sparkles my favorite!

by -

Galaxy is my favorite black, plus it has sparkles. You can’t beat it for using in marbles or to get a dense black with some shimmer in your next piece

Incredible black

by

This is my absolute favorite black! I love how even pulled down into stringers stays black and sparkly!

Can’t go wrong!!

by

My favorite color for marble backers!

Great for almost any application

by

I will use galaxy in place of black for almost anything unless I want a pure black. Also looks amazing when backing pendants or marbles.

It's so good!!!

by -

One of my all time favorites! Looks like black w/crushed opal when used in an oxidizing flame, but has some really cool fumey/spacey effects when reduced or encased in clear!

Good black

by

Galaxy black is a nice, dark, sparkly, easy to work black, that holds a crisp equator line when used to back marbles.

Sparkles up any situation

by

Great color, easy to work as long as you keep the oxygen up. Sparkles up any situation.

Awesome color

by

Love this color! Works really easily and nice and buttery for being sparkly. Also encased pretty well if it’s not too deep!

Ideal colour

by

Such an ideal colour! It will go slight blue-grey if you really overwork it and reduce it, but even then it still looks good. I use stacks of Jet black and I'm switching to this as that little extra sparkle just adds to anything I'm making
