Heavy Blue Stardust - Trautman
Details
Transparent darker blue aventurine with big, glittery dichro-like sparkles. Great for layering or backing; also mixes down with other colors to add sparkle.
Heavy Blue Stardust is darker blue sapphire with a higher density of sparkle, than the regular Blue Stardust. The usual cautions against long, hot garaging technically apply since this is an aventurine color, however it is highly stable in implosions and encasements.

TAG Heavy Blue Stardust
by Chris i -
The Big Brother of Blue Stardust, this heavy version has gorgeous deep Sapphire Blue color and plenty of sparkle. I love it as I can put it over clear and still get lots of deep blue color in my pieces. It is stunning when deeply encased and used as twists or spirals. Icicles love sparkle and be this color of blue. Exceptional when used over Whiteout.
Sparkle make my brain go brr

Perfect Color

Possibly my favorite color to work with. I have been working with it for years and always have it in my shop. Looks good with so many other colors, works easy, can be layered with other colors (on top of or underneath). It never gives me any issues. I find the Heavy Stardust has the perfect amount of sparkle- you can tell it’s sparkly in any lighting and in bright lights it really sparkles (customers often confuse it with crushed Opal).
By far a favorite!

Not only is this my favorite sparkle color(from all brands), Heavy blue stardust is by far one of my top 3 colors of all time! Great sparkle, keeps a deep color even when layering, and best of all it works like a charm! Smooth, easy to handle, and works well in any flame! Definitely a much have in the color pallet!
I love this!

I love this color the heavy metal flake in a nice darker blue is killer
Great color for marbles!!

I found out about this color from a fellow marble maker… I loved the ability to have the sparkle effect without having to add Dichroic glass. I recently have been encasing opals & have found this to be a nice backing color for the opposite side. The next one I will be experimenting with a dot stack on this opposite side over the Heavy Blue Stardust from Trautman!!
Amazing color for marbles
by Alex M.
I learned about this color from a fellow marble maker… it’s a great way to add that glitz & glam without having to use any dichroic glass. A great backing color for marbles, looks like a starry night!!
Works great
