Nano Gemstones

Nano Gems

These beauties are perfect for firing with metal clay. Torch fireable gemstones and kiln fireable gemstones. Nano Gems are safe to fire up to 1675°F / 913°C on an open shelf in clay, with the exception of the Dark Orange and Orange, which can be safely be fired up to 1650°F / 899°C on an open shelf in clay.
It is very important to fire with an azure, or a hole for light to pass through, behind the gem. The size of the azure should slightly smaller than the size of the stone. For example, a 4mm stone would benefit from a 3.5mm or 4mm hole. Without an azure, Nano Gems can change color, get muddy or lose luster.
