Polychromatic Crystal Coating
Volcano features a polychromatic crystal coating designed to shift, glow, and change color with movement and light. These finishes contain multiple tones within a single crystal, creating depth and dimension that standard rhinestone colors can’t achieve. Each crystal reflects light differently depending on viewing angle, surface color, and lighting—making every design feel dynamic and one-of-a-kind.
What Makes Polychromatic Crystals Unique
- Displays multiple colors at once for a dimensional, color-changing effect
- Shifts tones as the crystal moves and reacts dramatically to lighting
- Exclusive finishes developed by Preciosa®
- Natural shade variation is expected and intentional—no two stones are meant to look exactly the same
Volcano Shade Direction
Within each polychromatic color, distinct shade expressions are created during the coating process. These variations are intentional and not defects. Our current inventory has been sorted, and we selected the most popular alternate shade direction for customers seeking a warmer Volcano expression.
M2VOL (Volcano Shade #2) features stronger, deeper purple and golden tones. This variation feels warmer and richer than the classic Volcano look, with golden flashes layered over darker undertones.
For best results, we recommend testing stones on your actual surface before committing to a full project.
