Rainbow infinity mirror polyhedron?

I have a foggy memory of seeing a build post of beautiful polyhedral lamp-type thingy. I think it might have been made by a person here but I cannot remember the terms used to describe it to be able to search for it well. Have you seen this?

Inspired by the infinity mirror sculptures in Glass Onion, I would like to make one of my own. I remember a cool project that may have been posted here where someone made a polyhedron (maybe a parallelepiped?) out of two way mirrored acrylic and with cool lights inside.

If I'm remembering this right, the acrylic had a rainbow effect due to the mirror film and I was looking to source some of that for my project. Any details on sourcing unusually colored two way mirrored acrylic would also be welcome. I am in the US and it looks like Home Depot and TAP Plastics just have regular two way mirror acrylic.

Best answer: I have no idea if this is the exact thing you're looking for, but here's a build video of a cool polyhedron with an infinity-mirror effect inside it (made by Adam Savage and Matt Parker, of Mythbusters and Stand-Up Maths respectively).
