One of the board's sponsors, Centre de Verre, also sells it.
http://www.cdvkiln.com/menudichroicstuff.htm I don't know what aa charges for it but knowing what I paid for it when I bought one when away visiting my daughter, I think CDV has a very good price. I'm looking forward to the day that I have a weekday off of work and can plan a day trip to his store.

I bought some from CDV and used it. Essentially it is small broken pieces of dichro on clear BE. It worked well for me. I also liked making my own somewhat larger pieces of scrap frit that went well with it and accentuated the look. I capped with clear frit and for the most part they had to be cleaned up with a bit more frit on the funky spots and refired. The result after 2 firings was very good. Next I'll try capping the frit pile with clear sheet. We'll see.

When I talked to CBS they said this was not dichroic that was broken up to make frit but broken glass that has dichroic coating all all sides of it so it should be a lot better then what we home meisters can do so I was told.
