The strain pattern refers to a pattern of geometric iridescence or regular dark shadows that appear under certain lighting conditions, specifically when levels of polarised light are high. The technical name for this phenomenon is anisotropy. The cause is localised stress imparted during the rapid air cooling of the glass during toughening or heat strengthening and is not considered a defect.
