Discount Prism, Equilateral 6" ~ Glass

Customer Ratings:

This prism *is* glass. I saw from the reviews of other (plastic) prisms that plastic doesn't deliver good results. This glass prism generates deep, saturated colors in the full rainbow from the split light. My nine-year-old daughter was enthralled. I expected her to enjoy the prism, since it was on her wish list, but I was surprised by how long she played with it, trying different qualities of light, indoors and out.

The glass seems to be good quality and is pretty clear. It's pretty easy to get light refractions if you hold it at the right angle.

Honest reviews on Prism, Equilateral 6" ~ Glass

I looked at lots of different prisms before deciding on this. One thing to know about prisms is that they take some maneuvering to achieve whatever results you have in mind. Producing a rainbow from a prism isn't as straightforward as it may seem.

The prism itself is made of glass, in comparison to plastic, which I love. I'm not sure how much of a difference this makes in the actual performance of the prism, but it is a very nice desk piece. The quality is really quite nice, but there are some very minor imperfections in the glass. Mine has one very tiny air bubble, but it in no way affects the performance in a non-laboratory setting. Overall, the production of the glass is fantastic for the price.

I posted a few pictures of the prism exhibiting some of its various properties.
