If youâre interested in doing this experiment, hereâs what youâll need:
-A laser pointer (go for a weak one in a cat toy or clicker, these are the safest)
-Optical grade calcite. I had to scour Etsy to get this one, and it wasnât even that good. The trouble is that most of them have significant defects that make them unclear. Only buy one youâve seen photos of on Etsy. If you just let them send you any calcite then itâs unlikely to be a particularly clear piece. Itâs better to choose one yourself.
-Polarizing film/ filter. You can get these on Amazon for very cheap!
