Product Review Image

I bought this in the greeting card form. I have been purchasing cards from Fine Art America for two or three years. Covid might have been some of the reason for looking for cards on the internet. Shops were closed. The main reason I buy cards from FAA is because I got tired of looking for cards at the usual card shops. I could find cards (sometimes) that looked good on the outside but the verses were terrible or it was the other way around...terrible on the outside but maybe a decent verse inside. I pick cards from FAA that fit with the occasion. I figure I can write something on the inside as good as any card company could. I wouldn't buy these cards if I didn't think they were wonderful. The cards are beautiful and excellent quality and the envelopes are equality as good. I am glad I can make a copy of what I've bought so I can keep track of who gets what card. I don't want to send the same card to someone twice. In this case, the card is going to someone for Mother's Day.

Artist's Description

Double refraction (birefringrnce) in a calcite crystal. this phenomenon occurs where a material is not uniform and affects light differently in different directions (anisotropy). This phenomenon, which is similar to polarisation, splits the light ray into two components, the fast or ordinary ray and the slow or extraordinary ray. Because the two types of waves travel at different speeds, they get out of phase, producing the double images behind the crystal. Calcite consists almost entirely of calcium carbonate. It is the main constituent of limestone and marble. This is a specimen if Iceland spar from Rodefjord, Iceland.
