Glass, Dichroic
Dichoric glass was originally created for the space and laser industries, and was developed extensively by NASA. The word dichroic means "two colors" because of the two or more colors that the glass reflects and transmits. Dichroic glass is said by some to have no metaphysical properties. However, as everything has an energy vibration of some sort, which is what gives a material its metaphysical properties. Additionally, the glass is made with metallic oxides which would bring their properties to it. Intuition says that dichroic glass can be helpful for seeing past illusions, communication with stellar beings, bringing child-like joy into your life, and meditation. It can certainly be used effectively as a focal point in meditation by staring into the layers of color of the glass

Glass (Manmade)
Glass is an ancient material, one of the most ancient known and used by man. The first glass used was natural obsidian, volcanic glass, used to make arrowheads, knives, jewelry, etc. Glass objects created of manmade glass are reported to have been found as early from as 4,500 BC in Mesopotamia and 3,000 BC in ancient Egypt. Many consider glass to have no metaphysical properties, but others who are aware, realize that glass has energy like all else in the Universe, and thus has its own set of properties. Glass is a melding of the traditional four elements, because through fire and air the silica earth element is made molten and transmuted into a liquid only to return to its earthly state as a solid. It can be made to focus light or allow light to pass through invisibly or carry lightwaves great distances through tiny strands. Metaphysically, glass represents and carries the energies of transformation, merging of elements, rebirth, focus and communication. The colors of the glass bring the vibrations of those specific color energies.
