Осколок аметиста the particle production can be
inhibited. Particles instead will only be formed when stimulated by passing
radiation. This manifests as lines of particles being formed at random inside
the glass.

Out of lore, this block is inspired by cloud chambers in real life. Cloud chambers work by having box of supersaturated vapor (usually an alcohol). When ionizing radiation passes through the vapor it causes it to condense, looking like a trail of cloud.
The thick, short lines are supposed to be alpha particles. Alpha particles are bigger, which means they make bigger trails, but also means they're stopped much easier by the air.
The thin, long lines are supposed to be beta particles. Beta particles are much smaller, which means they can travel through air a lot farther, but have thinner trails. In reality, they should also be deflected sometimes, but straight lines are nice and simple enough.
