Slice it to 30 microns. Light it between two polarizers.
Move to look through the polarizer. Touch to look through the polarizer.
The display was inside all along.
Real optics. Every color is computed from each mineral's birefringence at 30 µm, the standard thickness geologists use. Drag to rotate the stage.
