Star Rosette Crystal Ball

A swollen red-giant star pulses at the center, wrapped in a rose-like bloom of gossamer gas shells. This is a Mira variable, an aging star that swells and shrinks over months, breathing layers of material out into space. The delicate lattice around it looks like a flower carved entirely from light.

We at Matter & Moonlight promise to deliver to each and every one of our customers pieces that are meaningful and of the highest quality. Thoughtfully crafted with wonder in mind, our pieces let you carry a little corner of the cosmos with you wherever you go.
