It is caused by the different layers of ''stress'' or tension within the thickness of a toughened glass unit. When polarised light passes through these areas of the glass it can appear as an iridescent or coloured pattern on the surface of th...See more on iqglassuk Missing: wavy edgesMust include: wavy edgesdrschenk [PDF]
