Centerpiece crystals, what is this?

What is filling up the glass vases here:

I've seen a florist use crytal clump looking gel and it looked a lot like this, she filled up the whole vase and said it was really cheap.

Any idea?

Cropped the huge picture, sorry about that:

I think acrylic ice rocks are a bit expensive for this, I'm pretty sure it was a gel of some sot.

I think it is cellophane and water. Personally I'm not crazy about how it looks in person.

I am using that in my cp's and my florist calls it a 'crushed ice' look. I believe they are fake looking ice cubes.

It is a clear gel that florists use to get that effect.

I belive it's called Florist Ice - http://www.roshgo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?page=rc01/CTGY/00200
