Description
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.
