I think they would just shine if you place them on a mirrored surface. Like one of the little oval ones that are sold to set perfume bottles on?

That is a great idea. I can go to a store and purchase a mirror.........

Do you have a glass topped table? Do they match any rooms in your house? Is there enough room on a window sill or two. For the glass to catch the sunlight? They sound pretty.

You can buy lighted bases to set them on. Check Amazon.

Type in: ""lighted bases for crystal"" and you'll be shown several.

If you have an end table next to your sofa you can display them by setting them in a circle. I agree they would be pretty arranged on a glass tray but they'll be fine on top of the table alone. They will be dust collector's but every couple of days it will only take a second or two to wipe them clean. They sound very pretty and will always catch the eye. How sweet of your friend to buy them for you and I know you will enjoy them.

I would take each one and set it somewhere where you will see it and get a smile from it each day...

You could put one on your bedside table so that you see it before you go to bed and when you wake up.

You could put one where you get ready in the morning.

Put one anywhere you know you will be each day, and it will remind you that someone cares about you and thinks about you whenever you see it.

(You should switch them around periodically, so you don't get so used to seeing them in their usual spots that you don't notice them anymore.)

Hello Lindsays Grandma. Than kyou. Great idea and yes it was so sweet of him. I am up at 5 today so I can come down and take the son of my boyfriend to school. It is all I can do to keep my eyes open........I am so very tired but I wil go back home after 7:15 and go back to bed. I stayed up this morning because I would have been late yesterday had he not come home to check on us.........I am so so sleepy.

Place the crystals on mirrors where sunshine will get to them. You will have rainbows at different times of the day.

I really don't have a place for sun coming in but I will see what I can do. I have to put them out this week. He never really comes to my home except to pick me up.....he lived in an apartment for 20 years and since he has his own home now he loves it and wants to be here all the time and I don't blame him. Funny, when I moved to my new apartment I saw this home down the street from me and always liked it when it was for sale and wished I could buy it and now I am dating someone that is buying it.....lol

Would they perhaps fit on top of clear glass or crystal candle pedestals or holders? You could get them in varying heights, and group them together in an arrangement.
