BROKEN Millefiori Glass 8mm-12mm (5/16 inch to 1/2 inch) by Mud Turtle Mosaic™ is sold in 2-ounce units (approximately 55+ pieces). THESE ARE BROKEN PIECES OF OUR REGULAR MILLEFIORI. MOST PIECES ARE FLAME POLISHED AND NICE, BUT EXPECT A FEW FLAKES AND SHARDS TOO SMALL FOR USE, MAYBE 2% BY WEIGHT.
Our millefiori is a next-generation product that is much more affordable than traditional Italian millefiori and is actually superior in several ways. For starters, the glass used is translucent and semi-translucent instead of being fully opaque, and this makes the colors more vibrant. Second, the Mud Turtle Mosaic is more cleanly cut and flame polished, so the pieces are smooth with a molded appearance instead of the rough, irregular, and uneven pieces usually seen in Italian millefiori, which is much more expensive.
What Is BROKEN Millefiori?
BROKEN pieces of Millefiori, which is a traditional form of art glass that is disk-shaped with different multicolored patterns and is used in glass fusing, jewelry, and mosaic art.
Product Coverage
This is a problematic question because the BROKEN millefiori was intended to be used as an accent instead of as area coverage, and the piece size can vary. That being said, one 2-ounce bag should cover roughly 5 or 6 square inches, but that will depend somewhat on how efficiently you nest the pieces.
Compatibility
The thickness varies, usually running between 1/8 inch and 3/16 inch. This makes it about the same thickness as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell, with some pieces slightly thicker.
Cutting BROKEN Millefiori
In theory the BROKEN millefiori can be cut using a pair of Mosaic Glass Cutters, but the pieces are already small enough to make cutting unnecessary and problematic.

True Dichro Stained Glass by Youghiogheny will appear to change in color and opacity as the ambient light changes throughout the day or based on the type of light source. Dichroic glass will look best in traditional stained glass projects, or in glass-on-glass mosaic art where light can shine through the piece. Made in the USA.
Dichroic Stained Glass is sold in 6-inch sheets like the rest of our stained glass. Some sheets will have a rippled end along one side of the glass. Some colors have a wavy characteristic to them, while others are mostly flat. The thickness varies between 3 and 4 millimeters depending on the color.
Finish
The dichroic stained glass has a finish that is very similar to the High Strike glass we sell in the main stained glass category.
Youghiogheny Dichroic 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 True Dichro Stained Glass for Mosaics
True Dichro 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 stained glass 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.
Mounting Dichroic Stained Glass
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
True Dichro is made by Youghiogheny in Connellsville, Pennsylvania on the Youghiogheny River. Youghiogheny makes 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.

Uroboros stained glass is a special line of hand-rolled glass that is now being produced by Youghiogheny as URO by Yough.
Uroboros stained glass is sold in 6-inch sheets like the rest of our stained glass and is similar in most respects. It’s 3mm thick, has a wavy surface, and may have a rippled edge on one side. The surface of URO glass is very similar to the surface of the High Strike glass we sell, which is denoted by an HS in the color number. Another similarity with the HS glass is the presence of a mottled appearance on different parts of the glass.
What makes URO by Yough glass different is the depth of color that can be seen when it is back-lit. This glass looks great when used on the face of a traditional mosaic, but it really stands out when used in a glass-on-glass mosaic, or in a traditional stained glass application such as a window or sun-catcher.

Y96 Quick Shapes Fusible Stained Glass stained glass shapes by Youghiogheny are water-jet cut shapes that can be used in mosaic art or fusing and slumping projects with 96 COE glass. Made in the USA.
Y96 Quick Shapes are sold in packs with 10 pieces in varying sizes. This is the same type of glass as our Fusible 6-inch Sheets.
COE 96
Y96 Fusible Stained Glass uses standard COE 96 fusing schedules available online.
The glass is tested using a dilatometer and examined with a polariscope to ensure it meets the set standard.
This glass can of course also be used in regular stained glass mosaic artwork. There is no requirement that it must be fired and fused; the glass is already beautiful.
Firing Schedule
The manufacturer specifies the following guidelines.
Full Fuse • From room temp to 1000F at 300 degrees per hour, hold 10 minutes • From 1000F to 1250F at 300 degrees per hour, hold 20 minutes • From 1250F to 1425F at 300 degrees per hour, hold 15 minutes • Crash from 1425F to 950F, hold 60 minutes • From 950F to 800F at 200 degrees per hour, hold 10 minutes • From 800F to 150F at 300 degrees per hour • Natural cooling to room temperature Please adjust hold times for the size of your project.

Y96 Quick Shapes Fusible Stained Glass
STAINED GLASS VARIES IN COLOR AND PATTERN BY PIECE. Do not order if you cannot tolerate variation.
Price is for one pack of shapes, 10 pieces per pack, in 4 different sizes as seen in the photos.
Shapes were cut by water jet. Some of the edges may have micro chipping.
Thickness: 3 mm or 1/8th of an inch
Pigments: colorfast metal oxide.
APPARENT PIGMENT DENSITY, HUE, AND OPACITY MAY CHANGE IF FIRED
NOT suitable for floors. More fragile than glass tile.
Compatibility
Tile 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.
With fusing and slumping projects this glass should only be used with other COE 96 glass.
Use In Mosaic Art
Stained Glass is non-porous and can be used outdoors, but we don’t recommend it for flooring. These shapes are meant to be used as accents or for patterns.
Stained glass is made for use in decorative windows and not as tiling. We have thought long and hard about what the safety and usage implications are of using stained glass for tile, and there is one issue that seems particularly important: If a mosaic becomes damaged where there is sharp broken broken glass mounted to 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.
For dry indoor mosaics, stained glass can be mounted using Weldbond adhesive, but thinset mortar should be used for outdoor and wet mosaics. In either case, stained glass should be rinsed with detergent to remove any traces of cutting oil.

IMPORTANT: Triangle Glass Tiles were discontinued by the manufacturer As we run out of colours we will not be able to replace them. This sample board has many colours that are no longer available. The sample board price has been permanently dropped to account for this. The original product description continues below:
Sample Board for Triangle Glass Tile by Morjo™ comes with one of each tile in our color palette.
Sample Boards
Sample boards should be used wisely with the understanding that all tile can vary by manufacturer batch, even the most expensive brands. This is because tile is fired in a kiln, and that process is more difficult to control than mixing paint, and so there can be differences in shade or hue. Feel free to contact us if you need to know if a color has changed since you ordered your sample board.
MORJO™Recycled Glass TRIANGLE Tiles by MORJO™ are sold loose by the 1/2 pound (approximately 115+ pieces), which covers slightly over 1/3 of a square foot with a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch. These tiles have a glossy finish, and the glass has solid color throughout (and not just on the tops or bottoms.) They are opaque when mounted on an opaque surface.
WARNING: COLOR NAMES
The Triangles use the same colors names as Morjo 12mm square tiles, but the colors are not the same for the current batch of Yellow and the Cyan Blues. Look at the pictures. Yellow is a little greenish, and the Spring Green Light is almost a yellow. The Cyan Blues have hues that are more pewter-ish than desired. Other colors (with less difficult pigments) are spot on. Slight batch variations can always impact matching with square tile colors. Do not assume exact matches. -Joe Moorman 09/10/2019.
Material
The recycled glass is a homogeneous material that cuts cleanly and predictably using the Wheel-bladed Mosaic Glass Cutter. They are hard and durable and UV-resistant and can be used for the exteriors of commercial buildings. The fusing process for making these tiles from powdered recycled glass is referred to as “warm glass” or “enamel glass” or “pate de verre.”
Each 1/2-pound bag of about 115+ tiles covers a little over 1/3 of a square foot assuming a standard grout gap of 1/16 inch.
Grout Gap?
Note that dry indoor mosaics do not have to be grouted (and thus you can simply mount the tiles tightly together), but outdoor and wet mosaics must have grout to prevent water from penetrating behind the tiles. The best way to ensure that the gaps between the tiles is to leave a 1/16-inch gap instead of pressing them tightly together, and this point seems counterintuitive to some people. Consider this: you can never mount them so closely together that water can’t penetrate it, but you can accidentally put them so close that grout doesn’t get adequately pressed into the crack during the grouting process.
Compatibility
These tiles have a NOMINAL thickness of 1/8 inch (4mm), which is the same nominal thickness as most of the glass tile we sell. All tile varies by batch, but any variance in thickness should be irrelevant to most users. You can use these with other brands of recycled glass and even vitreous glass, although the graininess of some vitreous colors might not look good when combined with the homogeneous glassiness of recycled glass tiles.
Cutting Recycled Glass Triangle Tile
Recycled glass cuts like butter using the Mosaic Glass Cutters without creating a lot slivers or cutting waste. This makes them ideal for micromosaic or rendering small details in larger work.
Sample Board for Lojee Nojee™ Glass Mosaic Tile by Morjo™ comes with one of each tile in our color palette.
Sample Boards
Sample boards should be used wisely with the understanding that all tile can vary by manufacturer batch, even the most expensive brands. This is because tile is fired in a kiln, and that process is more difficult to control than mixing paint, and so there can be differences in shade or hue. Feel free to contact us if you need to know if a color has changed since you ordered your sample board.
Lojee Nojee™ Glass Mosaic Tile by Morjo™ are a low-grain variety of vitreous glass with much fewer specks. Most colors have no specks at all. These tiles are sold loose in bags of 1/2 kg (1.1 pound), which is about 165 tiles. They are UV resistant and factory certified for commercial exteriors, swimming pools, backsplashes, showers, murals, as well as art-&-craft projects like mosaic stepping stones. You can use these with other brands of 3/4 inch vitreous. The red, orange, and yellow colors in our regular vitreous compliment the Lojee Nojee™ color palette quite well.
The backs of these glass mosaic tiles are embossed to help the cement or adhesive bond more securely. Except of 1 or 2 colors, the embossed pattern is the tic-tac-toe pattern most people prefer for ease of cutting. See photos. They are competitively priced yet suitable for fine art. Mounting grids are available.

Imitation WHITE Gold Mosaic Glass Smooth 20mm (3/4 Inch) is SILVER (Ag) alloy leaf fused under hand-cut glass and sold in sheets of 49 tiles mounted on removable clear film (1/4 square foot). These are what some competitors are selling as real gold mosaic (shame, shame), but they are great for what they are: a beautiful and economical alternative to real gold mosaic.
These are hand-cut tiles, but they are fairly square and uniform for the most part. Note that the backs are coated with a yellow epoxy to inhibit oxidation from tarnishing the silver foil.
