Heebies Jeebies Mini 15cm Storm Glass

The storm glass gained popularity after Admiral Robert Fitzroy's epic voyage on the HMS Beagle. Its working principle remains a mystery, but it's thought that electromagnetic changes in weather activate the crystals inside (sealed glass chamber fills with crystals when air pressure drops). This makes a perfect decorative gift for adults who have everything or those fascinated by meteorology. How to read it: A clear liquid means bright and clear weather. A cloudy liquid, sometimes with small stars and crystals at the top, predicts cloudy weather, thunderstorms, and rain. Small stars in the liquid indicate humid or foggy weather. Large flaky crystals mean cloudy skies and snow in winter. Threads of crystals at the top signal windy weather. Crystals at the bottom suggest frost may be coming. Suitable for ages 8 and up.

Using this storm glass is easy. Just place it in a spot where it's not disturbed by direct heat or cold. You can then read the weather signs as described in the product details. As for maintenance, keep it clean with a soft, dry cloth. Don't open the sealed glass chamber as it might affect the crystals inside. If you move it, do it gently to avoid any damage to the crystals. It's suitable for kids aged 8 and up, so you can enjoy this weather - predicting fun with the whole family.
