I mean, silicone is a thing, and people put it not just on but also in their bodies. I don't see why this isn't possible.

it behaves like silicone, but looks like glass or crystal

What's the difference? Match the index of refraction and absorption characteristics and it should be pretty much the same.

I mean, there's nothing in particular that distinguishes glass or crystal from $generic_transparent_medium_with_given_index_of_refraction.

Glass, glycerol, and a 75% sugar solution are all at about 1.5. There are plenty of liquid/gel formulations in that ballpark, including index-matching gels specifically designed for it. http://www.quantumsilicones.com/2012/02/qgel-920/ …

huh I guess, like, plastic bags full of colored glycerol?

Smething more gel-like than glycerol wouldn't even necessarily need a structural cover/bag, just perhaps minor surface treatment.

I'm pretty sure at some point I owned a mouse pad with a gel wrist support that looked like that hair...

Basically this. I'm sure you could come up with a formulation that gives the effect you want. Then you just need to 3D print and polish a mold and...pic.twitter.com/2hGHANp1mQ
