The way the glitter is made is this: they take a large microthin sheet of glass and color it with whatever color is being made at the moment. After the color is applied the glass is broken down and sifted through large screen shakers that capture the certain sizes of glass. Then it is bulk packaged. This is the REGULAR way it is made.
The PURE way it is done is a bit different, but makes a world of difference. Plain sheets of glass are broken and sifted while still clear. The color is applied AFTER the pieces are broken down. This allows the color to be applied not only on both sides of the glass, but also on the microfine edges of the broken glass as well.
It doesn’t seem like it should be a big deal, but when you see the two side by side it’s an amazing difference. See the picture below, which shows gold pure on the left and regular on the right. This is FINE sized.
