Description
This mysterious weather predictor has been used since 1750. Admiral Fitzroy, the famous sailor and meteorologist, used the Stormglass aboard the HMS Beagle during his historic voyage with Darwin. After 250 years, how the Stormglass works is still a mystery, but it is believed that it has to do with the electromagnetic changes caused by weather and sun storms. The appearance of the crystals inside the glass indicates changes in the weather.
The Weems and Plath Stormglass is packaged in a handsome velvet-lined black gift box with brass mounting accessories; which include the base, self tapping screw, finial and mounting accessory (to enable either wall or counter/table top fixed mounting).
The Weems Stormglass is a beautiful and unique gift for the home, boat or office.
- Sealed glass chamber holds the crystals and is encapsulated in a beautifully crafted brass cylinder
- Displayed freestanding or mounted to a boat bulkhead or wall using an optional mounting bracket
- Brass finish
- Dimensions: Size: 6 ½" (165 mm) tall x 1 ¼" (31.75 mm) diameter

Comments about Weems and Plath Brass Stormglass in Black Gift Box:
Fun item to watch while the weather is changing. Easy to use - shake it initially and set it down. Crystals built a full 12 hours prior to a thunder rain storm here in the Colorado Mountains. Will buy a couple for family for Christmas.
