And this is a colour comparison to cim creamsicle

Zucca? Not sure if that has a lighter core. I'll have a look when I go out to torch later.

Not zucca, that has really obvious rings. CIM do one called Sunny something. It might be that.

I have some CIM Sunny Side Up ( now called Pumpkin Unique I am told. These colour names do get confusing! )
But the rings seem to have a more transparent layer than the one you show. Next time I'm torching I will melt some and see if it looks more similar then.

What are those blue/silver bands round the glass rods?  Are we supposed to be looking at those too?

Could it be apricot yellow? I think the rods I have show more variation but I know batches of this one in particular differ! The melted ends look like it though!

I was just thinking apricot yellow too, it looks like mine but I have found each batch varies a lot but they are all beautiful, I am interested to know what the grey bit is?
