What is pearlized plastic? This seems to be a popular blank. How do you cast it?

It's same like other casting, but the pigment you put in, the powders, are pearlescent.
You can get metallic pigments, which have metal flecks in them, often aluminum. Pearlescent, which I'm not sure how to describe, other than saying that they look like pearls, and iridescent pigments, which depending on how the lift hits them they change colors.
