Hello,

I am trying to do some research on neodymium glass. I am wondering what different color variations of neodymium glass are possible?

I understand that typically neodymium glass is lilac or purple in sunlight and changes to light blue or light green under fluorescent. What are the other color variations that are possible?

I have also seen dark pink to grey, dark pink to light peach, as well as peach to grey.

If anyone could tell me all of the color change combinations that would be greatly appreciated.

There are other metal compounds that cause colour change effects, so I don't think that question can be answered unless you know that the glass contains neodymium. It may be possible that neodymium compounds other than neodymium oxide are used to give different colours. Neodymium oxide used with other metal salts gives different colours, for example, red with selenium or gold. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neodymium

I think you require a glass technologist to help you, and you may not find that expertise here.
