I just wrapped up three more of these things, what does everyone think?

The bottom half are various stones I've collected, with a layer of dichroic glass on top, followed by a layer of plain glass. I then cut and polish them. It takes a long time, but it's really meditative work.

Dichroic glass is quite fragile, as the layer which reflects light is a thin film of metal particles. It's a super interesting process, but doesn't hold up to much. That said, the layer of dichroic glass is sandwiched between the regular glass and the rock, so unless you try to use one of these to open a coconut or hammer a nail it will probably hold up.
