Subcategory - Omnibus and Joint Stamp Issues / Stamps with Crystals
An Omnibus Issue, in Philately, is an issue of stamps by several countries with a common subject and which may share a uniform design. Omnibus issues are to be distinguished from joint issues which are usually much smaller in scope.
Since there are many Joint Issues and Omnibus Issues, I have clubbed these 2 category together.
Hongkong - Austria 2006 Joint Issue on Fireworks affixed with Swarovski Crystals

Issued Jointly by the Austrian Post and Hong Kong Post on 22 August 2006. Austrian Post issued a set of two EUR 3.75 stamps on fireworks while Hong Kong Post issued a set of two HKD 50 stamps on a miniature sheet with "Crystal Fabric". The above souvenir sheet shows one stamp each from each country issue on the same sheet
"Crystal Fabric" is a textile fabric covered (hot fixed) with many tiny Swarovski Crystals to highlight the gorgeous bursts of fireworks. This unique material makes light refraction possible and produces a glittering effect that cannot be found in other ordinary stamps.
