How does color changing glass work

Snodgrass decided to try this fuming technique. Making pink and red glass using gold is actually the first nano technology known to man. Gold is actually red at a microscopic level, so this is why gold fumed glass has a pink look to it.

Basically the color changing pipe does not really change color. What happens is that when the glass is clean and clear the gold and silver a see through.

This allowing much of the light to pass through the glass. As you smoke your pipe and it gets dirty from the resin, the black resin does not allow the light to pass through the glass. This allows the light to almost reflect back through the gold and silver fuming. As this happens over time from smoking, the pipe will appear to change color. The light colors you could not see will begin to really pop!

Some people call this a chemeleon pipe as like the lizard the pipe changes colors as it is used. One of the first companies to ever sell a fumed pipe was Chemeleon Glass. Check out this dope spoon pipe from Custom Creations below, available now in our store. This twisted fumed pipe is thick and solid and is accented brilliantly with a sweet millie cluster mib on the side of the bowl.

Though gold and silver are most commonly used, the skill of the artist can pull a killer variety of shades and hues of colors from the metal into the glass. When you hold your new, or sparkling clean, pipe up to a lighter colored background, you will see the transmitted colorful patterns in the glass. So if you clean the piece that has color changing glass, does the color revert back or will it just continue to change?

I've been using it every day and it's already so cool looking. My first color changing piece.

All it is. I figured this out for myself when I was like I can't believe many people think there is some chemical reaction taking place and it's physically changing the glass.
