What material is the third eye of the Cytherian made from?

In the Star Trek TNG ep, The Nth degree, the Cytherian has an interesting material as his 'third eye'. I've had two tiles of it as a kid. It doesn't appear to be a hologram, but looking at it at different angles one sees a lattice of circles/spheres. What is this material and where can I purchase it in larger areas?

I'm not sure but often when things change appearance from different angles it is due to lenticular printing.

Best answer: The stuff in that character's forehead looks like a hexagonal piece cut from a lenticular honeycomb sheet.
