Flip it over and watch the grains of iron stack up in seemingly impossible formations thanks to a magnet embedded in the wooden base.
The craggy configurations of the iron filings eventually build into an ordered hemisphere with a spiky surface. Like your favourite movie, you can enjoy watching the Magnetic Sand Hourglass over and over again.
Filled with iron filings instead of sand, the Magnetic Hourglass has a rare earth magnet in its base which inexorably draws the filings toward it. They create formations almost like stalagmites, a kinetic sculptural performance you can enjoy for hours - 30 seconds at a time.
Product Specifications:
Mesmerizing - we should warn you that you may find yourself watching it for hours
