As a result of its opalescent nature, the color and grain of each tile varies, creating a custom look every time it is used. Available in a varied selection of colors and sizes. The Mosaic Series are transparent, semi-opaque glass tiles rich in color and texture. These 3/4" x 3/4" tiles have a smooth front and textured back for a more secure adhesive grip. Miter beveled edges provide for perfect angled corners.
