Captivating and mesmerizing kinetic art for your cave or your classroom desk.
This magnetic timer will capture everyone’s attention as the black iron filings form beautiful sculptures.
The sand typically found in an hourglass has been replaced with iron filings. A powerful rare earth magnet hidden in the base draws the iron filings into the magnetic field. The filings will arrange themselves into different patterns each time you turn the hourglass over.
Stick a magnet on the neck and you can stop time altogether!
Glass is 5-1/2″ tall on the base and filings run out in about 40 seconds (actual time will vary slightly).
