Any suggestions for the settings in LW to get this irridescent glass tile to render appropriately?

To address irregular reflectant materials is an entire essay.

LightWorks will treat the underlying color separate from the overlying wobbly reflection. You'll need a color pattern image - OR use a marble shader at small scale. Only two shaders necessary.

You'll need to create an irregular reflection mask for the mirror effect. It is a fairly advanced function since you'll be drawing a swirly pattern in Photoshop.

Place this into the Reflection Class Wrapped Mirror Map shader.

Third optional shader: A Displacement Map of the tile pattern to bump the surface and edges of the tiles.
