Glass will appear "greenish" on the ends, acrylic should appear clear. Acrylic also usually has many micro-scratches when viewed up close. Glass would not have those.

I think it's safe to say that it's glass. Especially if you can see the silicone used to glue each piece of glass together. Acrylic generally doesn't have any seams...[acronym:0d422a4e2b="Hope this helps (or) Happy to help"]HTH[/acronym:0d422a4e2b]
