Diamond Dusted

A surface conditon of the falls and sometimes the standards that reflects pinpoints of sunlight back creating a sparkling effect. This is very hard to capture in a photograph. Presumably the shape of some surface cells acts like a crystal that is concentrating or reflecting sunlight. As yet no documentation in the form of microscopic images of these cells was available at this time.

Some cultivars that are said to have this surface characteristic are: SDB 'Blushing Diamond', TB 'Diamond Sunset'
