Outdoor Solar Lights

my grandma was on her way home when she spotted the sun right before the solar eclipse that night. She said it was the most beautiful sight ever, she said there was some sort of pattern underneath the sun, and it was reflecting the suns light in a certain way, she said it was hard to explain. "There were sort of a crystal pattern under the sun, just hovering there, so beautiful and bright, with many colors" Said me grandma. What did she see?

It is known as a "sun-dog". It is caused when the light rays from the Sun strike ice crystals that make up a cirrus cloud. The light is refracted and caused the multitude of colors your grandmother saw.
