Gold ruby glass.Unlike other colored glass it’s color comes from gold nano crystals. Normally silicate glass is used for this but I wanted to use optical barium phosphate glass. The first attempts failed and I got a colorless glass with tiny gold droplets inside. Then after fine adjusting the ingredients and temperature I got a water clear and colorless glass melt which suddenly turned deep red within a few seconds on cooling down to 500 deg. C
