You'd probably be better off with a diffraction grating than a prism. It's essentially the same effect, but easier to work with. Try a local science store, like the Discovery Channel store or maybe even a Radio Shack. If all else fails, the back of a CD (not a blank one so much, but burned or bought) works as a basic prism for breaking up light.

Edmund Scientific has them in its Anchor Optical Surplus on line store. See the sources.

If you spell it correctly, you'll find them everywhere. Prism. Put THAT in your search engine and smoke it!
Is Edmund Scientific still around?

You mean a prism. On the internet go to:
