Swarovski Crystal AB

Apa tu kristal 'AB'?

Ini defination in English, yang i extract dari internet... :think: mak eh! panjang meleret bagai...

AB or 'Aurora Borealis' is crystal with a special coating finish, 'Aurora Borealis' is available on many of the most popular crystal colours.

The 'Aurora Borealis' finish, not only increases the brilliance of each crystal, this special application also produces colour changes, as a direct result of variations, in the quality of light that falls upon it.

The 'Aurora Borealis' coating itself, consists of a metallic finish applied to a crystal surface using water. A very thin metallic particle sheen is adhered to the glass resulting in a significant enhancement to the crystal's overall brilliance and dramatic colour changes.

These chromatic variations are dependant on the underlying crystal colour and their intensity is affected by background light conditions. Spectral effects similar to those created when sunlight falls on oily water can also be seen.

The colour variations range through the spectrum from light, almost imperceptible, blues to the deepest warm hues.The actual visible colour changes depend greatly on the individual crystal cut, dimensions and colour choice, as well as ambient light conditions but in general, darker backgrounds, tend to produce warm 'fire-like' colours, oranges, yellows, gold, reds and ambers.

While in contrast, 'light' conditions produce ethereal blues, greens, lilac, purple and tones with a sense of unbounded 'space'. When applied to each crystal colour particular specific variations can be seen, but in all, the 'Aurora Borealis' finish results in a stunning and brilliant display.


Ini pulak definasi mengikut pandangan mataku..........oh! jauh mata memandang, tapi tak jemu2 memandang kristal.

AB ialah batu kristal yang mempunyai satu lapisan metalic di sebelah batu kristal. Ia lebih berkilat danseolah2 ada warna pelangi. Lapisan ini akan terhakis sekiranya tidak di jaga dengan betul seperti batu kristal terjatuh terlalu kerap, bergesel dengan objek yang lebih tajam, menyembur minyak wangi beralkoholterus kepada batu, menggosok batu terlalu kuat, dll.
Harga kristal 'AB' mahal sedikit dari kristal 'Non-AB' antara 3-40 sen mengikut bentuk dan saiz batu.
