Pyrite
A transparent yellow striker that develops through soft pinks into purples with extended striking; work in oxidizing or neutral flame and strike to desired color depth.
Outcomes
-
transparent yellow (unstruck or early stage)The base state of the rod before striking begins — transparent yellow.
-
soft pink (partially struck)Early strike development produces soft pink tones; pull from heat and allow to cool or briefly strike to reach this stage.
-
purple (fully struck)Extended striking develops the color fully into purple tones; continue striking beyond the pink stage to achieve deeper purples.
