A regular, non AB coated crystal will appear to have silver and white gleaming inside.
But again, I bet some bhuzzers here would be able to tell you what kind of crystals you have if you can post a pic of a closeup of a crystal..
Thanks, that in itself was a good explanation. I will take some pics and post them tonight.
