Fitzroys Storm Glass - 28cm
Almost like magic, it changes inside based on the weather!
The storm glass was popularised by Admiral Robert Fitzroy after his historic voyage on the HMS Beagle. This storm glass is the same size and shape as our 28cm Galileo Thermometers, and they make an attractive pair on the windowsill.
How the Storm Glass works is still a mystery, but it is believed that electromagnetic changes in weather patterns activate the crystals inside (sealed glass chamber fill with crystals when air pressure decreases).
A terrific addition to a bedroom or sensory space, for those inquisitive minds and those curious about how things work and the world around them.
