Kaleidoscope 'Gemstone - Emerald' by Sue Rioux Designs
A great Anniversary, Valentine or May birthday gift.
Part of the Gemstone Collection, Emerald (May's birthstone) is an exquisite stained glass, 3-mirror kaleidoscope whose oil cell is filled with dichroic glass pieces and small baubles in varying shades of green with a hint white and blue. The body is an opalescent green stained glass finished with a dichroic glass jewel enhancement.
Easy to hold and breathtaking to view, the oil cell has square glass knobs on either side, affording the viewer an easy turning method. It is finished with Sue's signature patina she adds to all her soldering, resulting in a copper effect, on the eyepiece end, four little feet, and other adornments. This is truly a gem of a kaleidoscope. It measures 6-1/2" long x 2-1/2" wide and stands 2" tall.
Signed and dated by the artist. Exterior glass varies from scope to scope but will always be an exquisite emerald green.
Other variations of the Gemstone Series include Diamond, Amber, Peridot, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Onyx, Moonstone, Sapphire, Citrine, and Tourmaline.
