Old But Beautiful

Ancient Roman Glass Jars with iridescence.

 

The iridescence visible on the surface is due to the glassy structure reacting with the water in the soil in which it was buried to form very fine corroded layers.

Iridescent Roman Glass:Iridescence is the rainbow-like effect that changes according to the angle from which glass is viewed or the angle of incidence of the source of light.
