Geek Culture Fitzroy's Teardrop Storm Glass/Weather Forecasting Device
Description
The storm glass was popularised by Admiral Robert Fitzroy after his historic voyage on the HMS Beagle. The Teardrop Storm Glass comes with a stand, making it a wonderful gift.
How the Storm Glass works is still a mystery, but it is believed that electromagnetic changes in weather patterns activate the crystals inside (sealed glass chamber fill with crystals when air pressure decreases).
This is a gorgeous decorative gift idea for the adult who has everything or someone who finds meteorology fascinating.

The crystals inside change with the weather, or seem to, as they did for the admiral it is named for. A grown-up curiosity for a windowsill, and a daily reason to look outside.
