Moon composed of optical material

+0
−0

I'm curious about the impact of having a moon composed primarily of a material with a strong optical property: calcite, diamond, glass or something else similar. Would the traditional spherical shape pose any dangers in terms of magnifying the light coming from the sun?

What if it was actually a lens shaped moon?

Would a Solar eclipse be a giant-moon-ray apocalypse type scenario?
