It is easy to cut, unlike ordinary glass, it is difficult to break, and in addition, it has an amazing property to distort the reflection of light, so that the effect of partial invisibility. At some point, a person sees a figure against the background of the forest, and the next second it disappears - and only branches and leaves swaying in the place where the man was standing.
