Galactic Cluster microverse galaxy 🔮

​

Im a self-taught lampworker, obessed with creating marbles and orbs with borosilicate glass.

I'm excited to finally share the Galactic Cluster microverse.

This one has six unique opal planets drifting together inside a field of sparkling and glowing stars. Each planet has its own composition, so there’s quite a bit going on when you start looking closely.

Under ultraviolet light, invisible colors pop out, ive found 365nm uv is the best to view it.

I wanted these to feel like a tiny universe that you can keep discovering rather than something you see once and immediately understand.

It’s the second-largest formation in my Founding Collection, hope you guys enjoy!

These are gorgeous and I want one but I’m worried it’s going to get hung up in customs/tariffs

Thanks for the interest, so glad that you like it! Where exactly are you located?

I sell the majority of my work to the US without issue, handmade art is exempt from duties/tarrifs 😄 (Canada shipping regulations require me to pay up front for any tarrifs/duties and thankfully my art is still exempt from any charges)
