1. A method of detecting tampering of an object having a tamper-evident glass providing a visual indication of tampering, the method comprising:
providing an object comprising at least one piece of tamper-evident glass, the at least one tamper-evident glass comprising:
a first patterning comprising a first plurality of tamper-evident objects dispersed throughout a dimension of the tamper-evident glass, wherein the first plurality of tamper-evident objects comprises inorganic fluorescent objects; and
a second patterning comprising a second plurality of tamper-evident objects dispersed throughout the dimension of the tamper-evident glass, wherein the second plurality of tamper-evident objects comprises crystal objects grown in the tamper-evident glass;

performing a first inspection of the tamper-evident glass to create a baseline of an initial state of the tamper-evident glass,
performing a second inspection of the object comprising the tamper-evident glass to create a later status of the tamper-evident glass; and
comparing the baseline to the later status to determine whether an attempted tampering has occurred, including detecting damage to the at least one piece of tamper-evident glass,
wherein detection of damage to the at least one piece of tamper-evident glass is based at least in part on damage to either the first plurality of tamper-evident objects or the second plurality of tamper-evident objects.
