What is Shimmer AB?
The Shimmer AB finish on these White Opal crystals is a soft, translucent version of the classic Aurora Borealis effect. It subtly enhances the natural tone of the stone, adding iridescent glints that change with the light—perfect for designs that require refined elegance rather than bold flash.
