This is the hole at the centre of a compact disc case - you know, that strange 'button' (with teeth) you have to press in order to release the disc.
The colours are the result of a technique called cross-polarization, which allows you to see the points of stress in the plastic caused by its manufacturing process.

It has been said that there is a hole at the centre of each and every one of us... a God-shaped hole. Blaise Pascal, French mathematician, physicist, inventor and writer (1623 – 1662) described that hole perfectly:
What else does this craving and this helplessness proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words by God himself.
