Far Less Impressive In Person
This item comes in a nice box, and isn't completely without merit. But the impression you get, looking at it (in the highly-lit product photos), doesn't wow to nearly the same degree.<br /><br />It appears quite murky in normal lighting. There's an ugly bit of connective glass between the inner bubble, and the circular stone. The stone in mine is milky (even clear) in spots; not at all like the vibrant stone seen in the pictures. The edges are insanely sharp (keep this far away from kids). And the $30 list price is about double what I'd think to pay for this on my best day.<br /><br />Free from the high expectations set by the product photos though, this item does have a light amount of charm. It doesn't pop, but it does draw the eye to some degree, and holds for a bit. So, while I can't recommend it to most people, I'd say that you could do worse; that if you see it on sale, and don't expect much, this will likely be well-received.
