Hi Tracy, Jeff, Norm, and List, > Such a play of colors is seen in quite a number > of minerals, and is known as the "schiller effect".
"schiller" comes from the German word "schillern" and means "scintillate". The "n" disappears when you combine the word "schillern" + "Effekt", so that would also be the "Schillereffekt" in German.
