Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass, also called fusion glass, is glass treated with various metal oxides to make it appear to have many colours.
The name comes from a Greek word meaning “two colors.”
To make dichroic glass, the glass must be sprayed with micro-layers of metals, usually including titanium, chromium, gold, zirconium, and aluminium. This is conducted in a vacuum chamber, which evaporates the metals and fuses them to the glass in extremely thin layers.
Each piece of dichroic glass has at least three colors: the colour that reflects from the glass, the color of the glass, and a second refracted color that can be seen at a 45 degree angle.
