The flashes of color from within the stone are known as the "breath" from which the name is derived. Aurora Borealis is an iridescent rhinestone finish developed by Swarovski (a maker of fine rhinestones and Austrian crystals still in business) in 1955. These rhinestones were widely used in costume jewelry manufacture in the late 1950s and early 1960s in numerous colors. They are sometimes misattributed to earlier beads made with an iridescent finish or referred to as carnival glass in error.
