This is a pack of assorted CBS Dichroic Solid Color squares in COE96. Each square is cut from thin glass, and the lot arrives as a mixed assortment of solid color dichroic so you receive a variety in a single pack.
Because these are solid color squares, each piece carries an even dichroic coating in a single color rather than a surface pattern. The larger square format gives you more surface area per piece, which works well for pendants, focal accents, fused tiles, and projects where each piece needs to stand on its own.
Mixed square packs are a practical way to sample a range of CBS Dichroic colors and to keep an assortment of ready cut pieces on hand. The squares are sold by the pack and are available in mixed solid color assortments.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass is known for showing different colors depending on light and viewing angle. Ancient examples include the Roman Lycurgus Cup, whose color shift came from tiny gold and silver particles within the glass. Modern art dichroic glass uses a different thin-film coating approach: very thin metal or metal-oxide layers on the glass surface reflect some wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass through. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.

Can I cap dichroic glass with clear glass?
Many artists cap dichroic glass with clear, and capping can change the final look. Test first to confirm the result you want.
