Heebies Jeebies Mini 15cm Storm Glass

The storm glass gained popularity after Admiral Robert Fitzroy's historic voyage on the HMS Beagle. How it works remains a mystery, but it's thought that electromagnetic changes in weather activate the crystals inside (the sealed glass chamber fills with crystals when air pressure drops). This is a stunning decorative gift for adults with everything or those fascinated by meteorology. Here's how to read it: A - Clear liquid means bright and clear weather. B - Cloudy liquid, sometimes with small stars and crystals at the top, indicates cloudy weather, often predicting thunderstorms and rain. C - Small stars in the liquid suggest humid or foggy weather. D - Large flaky crystals mean cloudy skies and snow in winter. E - Threads of crystals at the top signal windy weather. F - Crystals at the bottom may mean frost is coming. Suitable for ages 8 and up.

Using this storm glass is easy. Just place it in a spot where it can be easily seen. It will change according to the weather. There aren't many special precautions. Avoid dropping it as the glass can break. To maintain it, keep it clean by gently wiping the outside with a soft cloth. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures as this might affect the crystal reactions. This is a fun and useful way to get a sense of the upcoming weather, and it also makes a great decorative piece in your home or office.
