What Is AB?
Aurora borealis (AB) is an iridescent coating added over the base color that throws a rainbow shimmer. It is a coating on a colored or clear stone, not a separate clear stone. Crystal AB is available in standard Crystal and also available coated with an aurora borealis (AB) coating for extra shimmer.
Size Reference
34ss rhinestones measure approximately 7.06mm-7.27mm, one of the larger sizes in the catalog. This size works well for statement stones, bold scattered accents, and border work where a single stone needs to carry visual weight from a distance. To compare sizes, see our rhinestone size chart with ss, mm, and inches.
