How it was done was this, I had a incorrectly burnt Blu-ray disc which is Black on the writing side and with an eyedropper added a few drops of water to the writing surface of the disc, From there jusy a matter of shooting the drops of water, cropping then processing in Photoshop CS6.

I've done something similar with a cd/dvd using dish soap. This combination makes color bubbles.

Yes you get a myriad of colours from the soap, the colour in this shot comes straight from the Disc

I didn't say I didn't like the black pearl effect, actually I thought it pretty cool! The other, I was just picking on you. You're an Ozzie. Therefore a considered friend.

This is very cool. Has a somewhat astronomical or planetary look to it.
