... I take the chance to mention here that I have
just uploaded an image to my web site that shows an
example of how a normal BIC ball-point pen looks
when illuminated with polarized light and then
photographed through a macro lens with an attached
polarization filter.
To view it, click on the 3rd hyperlink on this page:

I find these optical properties very fascinating.

Cool, iridescent! (er, photoelastic!)

Nice stuff to play with.
Here's a realy old one I dug up.
<http://members.home.nl/seedseven/stress_test.jpg>
Top is between crossed pola's.
Bottom, a 1/4 lamba plate is added (I think).
With a polarisation microscope I made hundreds of pictures of
minerals and "schliffs" from bore hole samples while I worked
for an oil company.

I remember using polarised images of crystals when we did "light shows" in
the seventies. They have always fascinated me.

Thanks !

Very clear illustrations of the phenomena,
but what is a 1/4 lambda plate ?

I didn't know that minerals had these properties as well.
Did you use some kind of (semi-)transparent minerals ?
Do you know of any "everyday" mineral materials that I
could use for experimenting ?
And what are "schliffs" ?

In discotheques ?
You say that you used images of crystals,
but wouldn't it be possible to use the crystals themselves ?
Its a pity that I don't have any crystals at hand to play with.
