Trying for an ice prism

 


Last time it was frozen at Watchtree I found a prism-shaped lump of ice a couple of centimetres thick. I fished it out to try for a prism effect. I think the problem is that to get the spectrum, you need a thin beam rather than the ambient light round. I wonder what effect the flaws in the ice would have. Sadly couldn't get it home for experiments.
