Aquatic Iridescence, Divinity's Caress, and 8 other rare shaders in Destiny 2

1) Aquatic Iridescence

The list starts with one of the Destiny 2 Seasons of the Deep shaders. Similar to shaders like Dreamcycle and Solar Shrapnel, Bungie also introduced this shader in the Season of the Deep alongside some weapon ornaments as silver-only bundles. Only 2.11% of Destiny 2 players have this shader in their inventory. It's owned by a few players is because it needs to be purchased from the Eververse store using silvers.

2) Divinity's Caress

Next, we have a rare raid-specific shader. Divinity's Caress is the reward that needs a flawless completion of the Vow of the Disciple raid. Upon completing the Vow of the Disciple raid from fresh to finish, you'll achieve the Risen From the Deep triumph containing the Divinity's Caress shader.

However, before jumping into the Vow of the Disciple raid to get this shader, remember that to complete this triumph, you must complete the raid without anyone dying or leaving the raid at any point. This shader is owned by only 3.15% of the player base.
