The DRAGONFLY Dark Iridescent 12mm Assortment is an aquatic themed mix of Morjo™ Recycled 12mm Iridescent Glass Mosaic Tile. It features deep shades of blue, purple, teal, green, and brown with silvery greys. This 1-lb assortment should have about 320+ loose tiles. The tiles have a glossy finish, and solid opaque color throughout.
Recycled glass tiles cut cleanly into tiny pieces with minimal waste, making them an ideal material for micro mosaic artwork and murals alike. Their hardness, durability, and UV-resistant quality also make them suitable for commercial building exteriors. The fusing process for making these tiles from powdered recycled glass is referred to as “warm glass” or “enamel glass” or “pate de verre.”
DRAGONFLY Dark Iridescent 12mm Assortment™ Glass Tile 1-lb
tile size: ~1/2 inch (12mm)
thickness: 1/8 nominal (4mm), but runs slightly thicker than most other brands nominally 4mm. Can be used in the same mosaics.
sales unit: 1 pound, which is approximately 320+ pieces.
material: glass
variety: recycled glass
pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
finish: IRIDESCENT
durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid

Coverage
One pound (~320 tiles) covers 91 square inches or 0.6 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 508 tiles (1.6 pounds) to cover one square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. You need about 645 tiles (2 pounds) for a square foot assuming no grout gap. Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your grouted project.
These tiles have a NOMINAL thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm), which is the same as most of our glass tile, but these run slightly thicker by a hair.
Cutting Morjo 12mm Glass Mosaic Tile
The MORJO brand cuts like butter into tiny pieces using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters so you can make tiny cubes without a lot slivers or cutting waste. This makes it ideal for mini mosaics or rendering small details in larger work.
Use in Mosaic Art
Make cool-toned aquatic patterns and scenes for outdoor decor, garden ornaments, backsplashes, and murals with these deep and vivid iridescent tones.
The Juicebox Mosaic Tile Mini Mix is a bright assortment of 3/8-inch glass mosaic tile in vivid shades of red, orange, yellow, pink and purple. This curated 1-lb mix combines our low-grain MiniGee™ tile with Morjo™ Vitreous minis, giving it textural variety and visual depth.

Coverage
Each 1-pound bag will cover approximately .90 square feet assuming a standard grout gap of approximately 1/32 inch. Most Mosaic Mounting Paper is 1.15 square feet and requires 841 tiles (29 tiles x 29 tiles). Use our tile estimator to calculate how much you need for your project.
Compatibility
Tile thickness is 1/8 inch nominal, the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, which means that these can mix and match with other types and brands.
Cutting Glass Tile
We recommend the Mosaic Glass Cutter for cutting all types of glass mosaic tile including these. Note, however, that there is a limit to how small they can be cut. Due to their tapered edges, small pieces will tend to tip over. We advise cutting halves, quarters, and diagonal triangles, and not much smaller than that. For creating outlines and other details, check out our Rectangle Border Tiles or our Outliners Mosaic Sticks™.
Mounting Tiles
Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting dry indoor mosaics. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, use thinset mortar. For an organized design you can set aside and rework, use a mounting grid.
Use in Mosaic Art
The affordability, ease of use and durability of these tiles makes them suitable for children’s crafts projects and outdoor home décor. The pigment quality lends itself equally well to photorealistic mosaic images and fine art. The advantage of this material is that you can use tiles from different manufacturers if you find you need additional colors.

Purpaliscious Thinny-Penny U-Mix 3-Color 12mm Penny Round Assortment is a bundle of 3 pink-purple penny tile colors (1/2-lb each) that you mix yourself to create a 1.5-lb assortment. Each 1/2-pound bag contains about 230+ pieces and covers about 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. That means the complete 1.5-lb assortment bundle should contain about 690+ pieces and cover about 1 square foot.
The numbers in the U-Mix assortment name indicate each color in the bundle. This assortment includes: 57-lavender pink, 60-lavender, and 62-purple.
MORJO™ Thinny-Pennies™ Penny Round Recycled Glass Tiles have a glossy finish, and solid opaque color throughout (not just on the tops or bottoms). Unlike glass gems, another common round tile, Thinny-Pennies™ have a flat and even surface rather than puffed. This makes them much easier to use with other types of glass tile and easier to grout.
yield: 1.5-lb assortment of approximately 690+ tiles
material: glass
variety: recycled glass
shape: circle, penny, flat round
pigments: colorfast, UV resistant
durability: frost-proof, impervious to liquid
usage: suitable for indoor and outdoor use
Coverage
Each complete 1.5-lb tile assortment covers about 1 square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. Hard, durable, and UV-resistant, it makes great material for commercial exteriors and murals.
Compatibility
Like most of the glass tile we sell, flat penny rounds have a nominal industry-standard thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm). You can use these with other brands of recycled glass and even vitreous glass tile.
Cutting Recycled Glass Thinny-Pennies™
Recycled glass cuts like butter using the Mosaic Glass Cutters without creating a lot slivers or cutting waste.
Grouting Round Tile
Note that dry indoor mosaics do not require grouting, and so for those you can simply mount the tiles tightly together. On the other hand, wet and outdoor mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. For those, leaving a 1/16-inch gap allows enough grout to adhere between the tiles.
Making Mosaic Art with Penny U-Mixes
U-Mix assortments give artists the unique option to customize their color blend. Use penny tiles to create dotted patterns, curves, flower shapes, and round details. Arrange whole pennies or circular segments into swirls, waves and spirals.
Morjo™ Metallic Glass Mosaic Tiles 3/4 inch (20mm) are beautifully pigmented glass tiles with sparkling copper streaks and swirls. Some, such as Deep Blue and Purple, also include stunning color streaks. Opacity varies from transparent to completely opaque. Powdered copper infused within the glass gives these tiles their permanent, UV-resistant sparkle. Each 1/2-lb bag contains about 75 tiles. They are durable, frost-proof, and suitable for outdoor mosaics, yet easily cut into halves, quarters, and triangles with little force using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters. The grooved embossing on the back improves bond strength.

Compatibility
Our Metallic mosaic glass tile is compatible with our 3/4-inch Morjo™ Vitreous, Lojee-Nojee™, and Morjo™ Iridescent product lines. The 3/4 inch size (20mm) and 1/8 inch nominal thickness (4mm) is industry standard, which means these tiles can mix and match with a wide variety of brands.
Cutting Glass Tile
Though durable enough for outdoor mosaics, this tile cuts easily with minimal force using the mosaic glass cutters. Ordinary tile nippers are not recommended for any type of glass, as they will tend to crush the material rather than yield a precise cut.
Metallic Glass Tile in Mosaic Art
Even as an occasional accent, metallic glass tile will add sparkle, depth and luminosity to any mosaic project. Break up monochromatic color fields with their metallic equivalent, or sprinkle in pieces to add drama to your details.
We have a beautiful selection of Youghiogheny brand stained glass in 6-inch square sheets. Use these square sheets to hand cut your own art glass shapes for mosaics. Our selection includes bright, earth tone, transparent, and iridescent varieties, and many types including swirled, streaky, mottled, and textured, for endless possibilities in mosaic applications. Along with High Strike, Stipple, and Reproduction Glass, we also now carry Fusible, Dichroic, Uroboros, Oceana, Granite, Ripple, Modern Art Series, and Textured Streakies all by Youghiogheny.
Youghiogheny stained glass is the highest quality art glass suitable for mosaic artwork currently available on the market. We are very excited to be able to make this premier product available to our customers. Made in the USA.
Stained Glass Surface Finishes
We primarily carry Youghigheny’s High-Strike (HS) and Stipple (SP) glass lines, as indicated in the product number of each variation. Glass labeled RG is Reproduction Glass; these are authentic reproductions of Tiffany stained glass. High-Strike glass is a traditional mottled art glass and looks glossy. Stipple glass is high quality and has a waxy, ice-like effect, with a textured, shiny finish. RG glass usually has a finish that is very similar to the HS glass. The thickness is remarkably uniform at exactly 3 millimeters, which is about 1/8th of an inch.
Stipple Finish Stipple glass has a waxy or ice-like finish. These usually have a degree of translucence to them and are great for use in glass-on-glass mosaics. The surface of the glass has a small amount of texture.
High Strike Finish High Strike glass has a traditional finish, and is usually mostly smooth or glossy. This glass is more likely to be opaque. Reproduction Glass or RG variations usually have the same finish.
Finish Variations in Mosaic Art
The differences in texture and finish between HS, SP, and RG glass shouldn’t cause concern for most mosaic artists. We have used Stipple and High-Strike glass right next to each other in the same projects with spectacular results.
An N in the product number refers to use of neodymium for a strong purple pigment. The letter i refers to iridescence on the face of the glass.
Youghiogheny Stained Glass Sheet 6-Inch
STAINED GLASS VARIES IN COLOR AND PATTERN BY SHEET. Do not order if you cannot tolerate variation.
Sales unit: 6×6-inch square piece
Squares are hand-cut using a straight edge and not always perfectly square.
This is cutting stock for making small mosaic tiles; not intended for use as finished mosaic tile.
Thickness: 3 mm or 1/8th of an inch
Pigments: colorfast metal oxide.
Coverage: 1 sheet covers approximately 1/4 square feet.
frost proof
impervious to liquids
Suitable for indoor and outdoor installation.
NOT suitable for floors. More fragile than glass tile.
Stained glass can have sharper edges than regular molded glass mosaic tile, so care must be used in cutting, handling, and grouting. Stained glass varies in color and pattern by sheet. Do not order if you cannot tolerate variation.
Product Coverage
Each 6-inch square sheet covers approximately 1/4 square feet when uncut. When you cut it up, you will gain additional coverage from the grout gap, but you will also lose some coverage in the form of cutting waste.
Compatibility
Sheet thickness is 3mm or approximately 1/8 inch, which is NOMINALLY the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell. That being said, mixed-media mosaics and even mosaic table tops are routinely made from dissimilar materials with even greater differences in thickness.
Cutting Stained Glass for Mosaics
Stained glass can be cut quickly with minimal force using our Mosaic Glass Cutters. Use this wheeled cutter for irregular rectangle and triangle shapes. For long straight cuts and curved cuts, use the Pistol-Grip Cutter to score the glass, and a pair of Running Pliers to apply pressure and snap it. Finally, you can also use cutting oil to lubricate cutters for more precision.
Use as Cutting Stock vs. Whole Tile
We hand cut these sheets using a straight edge, and so there is variation in size and straightness. We sell these square sheets as cutting stock for making small mosaic tiles, not as single finished tiles. Some sheets may have a rippled edge along one side of the glass – this is the outer edge of the larger sheet we cut into squares. For a finished tile option, see our 3/4-inch Morjo™ Stained Glass Tiles.
Mounting Stained Glass Mosaics
First, before mounting always rinse stained glass with detergent to remove any traces of cutting oil residue. Even if you don’t use cutting oil, it may be present from the manufacturer. For dry indoor mosaics, Weldbond adhesive works well for mounting stained glass. However, for outdoor and wet mosaics, we recommend you use thinset mortar.
Smoothing Sharp Edges
Stained glass often has sharper edges than molded glass mosaic tile when cut. At our studio, we use a marble file or a rubbing stone to knock off any razor edges remaining after cutting.
Safety Notes
We have chosen Youghiogheny stained glass for its beautiful quality and pigment density which makes it suitable for mosaic artwork. However, while it is non-porous and suitable for outdoor mosaic art including benches, tables, and garden décor, it is not recommended for tiling floors. If a mosaic becomes damaged on a surface where it could cut someone, then use the fine edge of a marble file to smooth the edge until you can replace the tile. This also applies to mosaics made with molded tile.
Rendering in Mosaic Art
Traditional stained glass art often makes use of custom-cut pieces that define entire figures or components. In mosaic art, the approach is different: figures and components are almost always built up from multiple tiles unless the object in question is particularly small. It is best to stick to one approach or the other for a particular piece of art..
American Made Stained Glass
Youghiogheny stained glass is made in Connellsville, Pennsylvania on the Youghiogheny River. This is quite possibly the most beautiful glass made in the world, including Italy. This is a great opportunity to buy an American-made product and support high labor and environmental standards at a price that is competitive with molded glass tile made in China.
