You can’t see it anyway. Transparent aluminium.

Actually gorilla glass is far stronger in every spec than AL or Star Trek's theoretic "transparent AL". Graphine structures will probably prove to be 10 times greater than gorilla glass once the kinks are ironed out. (or so I've read)

Gorilla Glass is an alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass, so from one way of looking at it, it IS transparent aluminum.
