Award-winning design, one-of-a-kind, stained glass kaleidoscope, signed by artist.
This scope is a kevel spinner kaleidoscope that spins on a horizontal plane. The sculptured wheel on the end creates the images within the scope, when the wheel is turned horizontally.   The scope is about 6.5 long and the sides are about an inch high. There is a magnifier in the eye piece to create a great images!!
This scope has a "gem, semi-precious stone, mineral" theme. It is made from a beautiful green iridescent glass.  Iridescent glass is a highly reflective glass with a mother-of-pearl like sheen. On one side is a brass wire and a piece of snow-flake obsidian.  On the other side is an unusual fringed sand dollar    There is fused glass on the wheel, which flashes when you turn the wheel.  All this  fused glass was made by this artist in her kiln and then incorporated into this one-of-a-kind scope. The wheel on the end has turquoise, rhodonite, obsidian,  and quartz.   All the gems and minerals were purchased at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
It is slightly more expensive because of the gems and semi precious stones.
The pictures can't capture the beauty - the flash distorts- see my customer comments.
This is also a great gift for anyone!!
