The term is “Transparent Aluminum” from Star Trek IV, the original series… and no I did not think that they made it from that, seeing as it does not exist…

> Transparent aluminum is a material described in the Star Trek universe which was introduced in the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). This material was long considered just a work of science fiction; however, there are similar real substances.

Source: [List of Star Trek materials - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_aluminum)

Although, SIMILAR materials do exist (like transparent alumina).

Sorry, I’m a big trekky. 😃

i like em too, they look real deep, could be all glass though and just has an effect of a big lip.

didnt inspect closely though, im going to file that one under ‘good photochop’ til i find more information, kinda suspicious that the poster in that forum didnt have anything else to say about em.
