More About Beautiful Dichroic Glass…
Dichroic [Dye-crow-ik] is Latin for "two colors." Dichroic glass, which comes with an iridized finish, is created by a process similar to fuming. Dichroic glass is made in a heated vacuum chamber, where aluminum, chromium, silicon, titanium, and zirconium are applied to the glass base in varying layers, depending on the colors desired. The thin metallic layers produce completely different colors in reflected and transmitted light. Because it changes constantly, depending on angles and lighting , photos do not completely capture this wonderful glass but you can certainly see the beauty in the items on this site.
