The GI8053 Black Floral Wand by GI is made from acrylic. There is a paper wrap around the barrel and is protected by a clear acrylic. These Floral Wand kaleidoscopes are great for a beginning collector! This acrylic kaleidoscope can be ordered in four lovely different exterior color combinations: this one is black with silver or gold florals. An oil-filled wand provides the explosive, colorful, inside detail as the glitter falls lazily. When the glitter is finished inside the tube, you can turn the tube and kaleidoscope around to enjoy another view of vibrant color! Double-ringed holders and two “o” rings keep the oil wand from falling out.
The interior of these imported floral wand kaleidoscopes has an interesting 4 mirror system that makes use of that oil-filled, acrylic wand. This 4 mirror system gives the viewer 2 separate mandala images to view (a double focal point) inside. The mirror system follows the shape of the four sides and that system is unusual in a kaleidoscope at this lowered price point of $27.99. Wonderful for gifts, the kaleidoscope and one tube is packaged nicely in a box shown in the video below. In addition, we carefully package each kaleidoscope with paper as well as another bubble wrap for protection.
Dimensions: The kaleidoscope barrel is 6 7/8" long and 2 1/8" wide.
The wand is 5 1/4" long and has a diameter of 5/8".
Note: We have extra 5 1/4" long wands available in the red-gold, green-gold, blue-gold, and purple-gold combinations as seen below in the video. Extra interchangeable wands can be purchased for this kaleidoscope to make the experience even more fun!
Great scope for the beginner collector.
