What Makes It Uncommon

Storm glasses, utilized by navigators as far back as the 19th century, functioned as early weather forecasters. Explorers would use these sealed glass tubes housing camphor and ethanol by observing how the internal crystalline formations responded to atmospheric fluctuations. While no longer a practical weather predictor in modern times, these conversation-starting objects, like this interactive raindrop-shaped variation, continue to captivate with their daily-changing appearances.

  • Water droplets are available in two sizes: small (4.5"L x 3"W x 3"H) and large (10"L x 5"W x 4.5"H).
  • Position the droplet indoors where it will experience the most drastic temperature changes and away from direct sunlight for optimal performance.
  • Each atmospheric change alters the solubility of the crystals, leading to the display of new formations in the glass daily.
  • Droplets crafted from glass. Large size includes a walnut and beech wooden base.
  • Made in China.

Pretty to look at....

I just wanted to get something cool for myself. I bought the large droplet on the wooden base and it is actually soothing to look at. I know it doesn't actually predict weather changes accurately, but it is pretty and a great conversation piece.

This product when shaken only lasts a short bit of time. Beautiful piece and very unique: including the design.

Beautiful piece

This is such a beautiful and unique gift to give. My husband was thrilled with it. My only issue is that it would be nice to include some information in the box about the product. It's annoying to have to explain to somebody what a gift is. Just a simple piece of paper with the information shared on the site about the product would be so helpful.

Beautifully made and fascinating to watch

I bought this to beautify my somewhat-barren desk space at the office, and it has exceeded my expectations. The constantly-changing crystal patterns are fun to see each day, and the quality of the piece is beautiful - it's weighty, has a lovely form, and is eye-catching and attractive. It's become a conversation piece, too - visitors to my office will stop to see what it's doing on a given day.

Does this work for high altitude locations?

Verified reply from Thaicha

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can use this product at a high altitude location. The item responds to fluctuations in temperature and pressure which can vary but be detected at any altitude.

  • Reston, VA

Does this droplet come with instructions and/or a usage guide so the recipient knows how to interpret the changes in the contents? What does rain or snow predicted look like? etc.

Verified reply from Maxienne

Yes, the Weather Changing Water Droplets come with an instruction manual. Crystals are easier to see with large changes in temperature and can be confirmed when the temperature is low.
