mixed size and colours and shapes dichroic glass

Dichroic fusible glass scrap in assorted colors and sizes The word "dichroic", pronounced Dye-Cro-Ick, is derived from two Greek roots, "di" for two and "chroma" for color. So "dichroic" literally means "two-colored."You may hear dichroic glass referred to as "dichro" for short or even as "chameleon glass". You may also hear it incorrectly referred to as dichronic, dichrotic, dicroic, dicromic, diachronic, dichromatic and dichryllic just to name a few. Another misconception is that dichroic glass is the same as fused glass or refers to the entire fused glass movement. Though fused glass or warm glass may incorporate dichroic glass elements; doing so is not a requirement. Dichroic glass can be used as an element in glass blowing, bead making and of course glass fusing.The most distinctive feature of dichroic glass is that it seems to have more than one color, especially when viewed from different angles. For example, a particular formulation will appear blue, but shift the dichroic glass slightly and the color will transition to green. 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.
