[PW] "Gem"

This is for me, so no hurry. I bought a "gemstone" at a craft fair. It is
manufactured through some process with glass and minerals. If I understand
it right, the glass comes in thin sheets and is cut up in small shapes of
your choice. Layers are put together with various kinds of minerals and
heated in a kiln. The various kinds of minerals give various colors. It
looks almost like colored glitter in the glass. The glass also can be
various colors. It is very expensive - something $150 per 4 inch square
piece of glass, (her cost). The lady who sells these said it was called
"diac________" which means two colors. Does anyone know what that word is?
