Dichroic (Dichronic?) Glass Arrives!

That's right! Dichro Boy (Sam He Is) is so ecstatic that Mike's been forced to put a drool bib on him. And we're just about at the point of having to issue galoshes to the staff.
Sammy's helpful teaching lesson here- dichroic means two colours, and this glass appears to be different colors when viewed from different angles or in varying degrees of illumination. It's created by adding thin layers of metallic oxides which transmit certain light wavelengths while reflecting others, causing an ever changing and iridescent effect. Think heads-up displays on military fighter jets and you'll see one of the first uses for this technology.

If you've preordered, your stuff has been pulled from the shipment and is ready for pick-up.

And, the best news- due to the size of the shipment, the great deal on shipping (thank you Traffic Tech) and a stronger CDN dollar, our savings on this shipment is so significant that we've now revised our pricing downwards- see here. And we'll ship this stuff right across Canada too!
