dichroic glass for fusing glass jewelry

Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metals or oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a particular transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light either pass through or are reflected. This causes an array of color to be displayed. The colors shift depending on the angle of view. Dichroic glass is an example of thin-film optics. Dichroic glass with dimension, pattern and surface variety is suit to your fused glass project. Craft-quality dichroic is good for beginners, offering an economical way to create designs with intensity and brilliance. Mix of patterns and colors in random sized pieces. Photo is one example, assortments will vary. Tip - When using black solid or pattern dichroic, place a piece of clear glass slightly larger than the base glass on top to protect the pattern/color. Various colors and shapes are available, all packed in 28g.
