Chatani Storm Glass Dome Mount Fuji, W6 x D6 x H5cm, "FunScience" 333-414

This Mount Fuji-shaped storm glass brings a Japanese symbol to life with humor and ingenuity. The crystals in the liquid change depending on the weather, making it a perfect gift.

Storm glasses were first used in Europe in the early 19th century to predict weather conditions during voyages. They are made by dissolving multiple chemicals in alcohol and filling a glass container. It's said that the crystals change shape depending on the weather. While not suitable for accurate weather predictions, the unique changes in the liquid and crystals caused by changes in the surrounding weather conditions make them a wonderful decorative piece.
