Lepidolite (AAA; Brazil) – Lepidolite is a form of mica, prized for centuries for its shimmer due to its sheet structure and prismatic crystals. In the Middle Ages, large sheets of Lepidolite were used as coverings for building ‘windows’. This high quality Lepidolite is believed to foster a sense of peace and equilibrium and facilitate smooth change during times of transition.
Swarovski Crystal(Austria) – Swarovski was founded in 1895 following Daniel Swarovski’s invention of the world’s first electric-powered crystal cutting machine and lexicon of crystal cuts that produced a new level of crystal clarity. After viewing the Northern Lights, he partnered with Dior to create his famous Aurora Borealis, or AB, coating, a very thin layer of gold applied to half of a crystal’s facets to create an iridescent, shimmering effect. Today, Swarovski Crystals provide the sparkle for Beyonce and Taylor Swift’s concerts, most notably with 250,000 crystals on Beyonce’s red catsuit (Cowboy Carter Tour) and more than 5,000 on Taylor Swift’s guitar (Eras Tour), now housed at the Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.
