How are patterns made in glass crystal?
Am not sure if my question is clear.
I have seen some show-case items which have various 3D patterns like dolphins, aircrafts etched inside a glass crystal. How do they do this? do they use any laser technology? Can anyone give me some links on where i can learn how this is done.
Thanks!

The patterns are laser etched. The laser is focused on a point inside the crystal and the instantaneous heat forms a small fracture. They control the depth and location to give a 3-D effect. Pretty cool, huh?
