==Disputed==
'''[[Irisation]]''' (a page I just put up) is "formed from small ''water droplets'' of near uniform size" (have a look at [http://tierra.rediris.es/megacryometeors/photometeors.pdf.] and [http://www.livingwilderness.com/patterns/irisation.html]). According to the Answers.com reference at the bottom of [[Cloud iridescence]][http://www.answers.com/topic/iridescent-cloud?cat=technology], that phenomenon is caused by "''ice-crystal(s)''". Looks like we need further fact checking on one or both. [[User:Fountains of Bryn Mawr|Fountains of Bryn Mawr]] ([[User talk:Fountains of Bryn Mawr|talk]]) 01:06, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Answers.com does not have an accurate explanation.

Ice crystals do produce iridescence (any paarticles of fairly uniform size do - transparency is not necessary. Ice crystals included now in text.
