Default Needle Dichro

is there such a thing as needle dichro? Or is it all in the technique? I want to get the needle effect and am wondering if there is a specific type to buy.

Some dichro lends itself to that effect moreso, but you can get it with most quality dichro (CBS or DA).
Check this out Lana

It lends itself to marbles and pendants more than other shapes because the lens is key to getting that look.
You can make them really tiny if you want, it's just a little bit trickier to keep from burning the dichro.

Starship tical works great if this is the effect you want:



If so, sandwich it between some clear and twist it up then condense and you'll have it.

edit: was looking for the link above and then saw it was already posted by Beau. Get their video if you want to see some more fun with dichro.
