GORGEOUS!
From the Daily Mail:
The sun as you rarely see it... through millions of ice crystals called diamond dust.
This amazing sunset with a difference is a phenomenon than can arise when you view the sun through millions of ice crystals. As water freezes in the upper atmosphere, millions of small, six-sided ice crystals - known as diamond dust - flutter to the ground.And at the approach of either sunrise or sunset, this is what an observer passing through the same plane as the falling crystals will see. Each crystal acts like a miniature lens, refracting the eye's view of sunlight and creating the phenomena known as sundogs.
The dramatic effect is also referred to a mock sun or a phantom sun.
