Crystals appear quite often on Nyingma and Bon initiation cards. They are symbolically related to the Dzogchen philosophical systems of both religions. Accompanying the crystals are rainbow lights, a vajra scepter, lotus flower, clouds, peacock feathers, a mirror and sometimes the Tibetan letter 'A.'
