Consider the Spiralis Square: a cactus-inspired take on the handmade glass paperweight. These fabulous art glass squares come in a variety of color options and are named after the unique Cereus Forbesii Spiralis cactus—a genetic anomaly which grows in a stunning spiral shape that looks almost like it couldn’t even possibly come from nature. The traditional rounded paperweight doesn’t do justice to the Spiralis as the awesome inspiration for this design, so instead the Spiralis is encased in a crystal clear square! The resulting creation is a beautifully contrasting work of art with beautiful optical properties. The bottom of each Spiralis Square is stamped with a matching spiral shape and is slightly recessed so that each one sits flat and stable. Expect the average Spiralis Square to measure about 2.5-2.75 inches in all dimensions. Solid and heavy, they will make a strong centerpiece or visually-anchoring decoration on any bookshelf, tv stand, kitchen counter, or even fish tank!

1) Fire mix: The Spiralis will be constructed of a mixture of red, orange, and yellow colors. This lends an engaging, warm presence to the sculpture.
2) Water mix: Two different blues in alternation spiraled together produce a cool, watery Spiralis.
3) Earth mix: A lighter cinnamon-tone brown mixed with a darker, umber brown in alternation–feels nicely earthy.
4) Grass mix: This is a special mixture of three green colors in one unified Spiralis which has a detailed, fascinating aesthetic. Includes aventurine “sparkle glass” which has a fantastical glittering effect.
5) Melted Marshmallows: A bold, pastel-flavored mixture of green, blue, and pink in a unified Spiralis. These colors together look amazingly like those pastel-colored marshmallows melted down and stretched out!
6) Witch’s Brew: This option is Halloween-themed for sure; you’ll find a Spiralis with alternating trails of orange and purple that match the Fall season delightfully.
7) Dusk mix: A mixture of a strong red, and green sparkle glass creates a Spiralis that has an intriguing aesthetic.
8) Midnight Rose mix: These colors in alternation produce a Spiralis that has an eye-catching and dramatic aesthetic while still looking great when paired with objects of other colors.
9) Starry Night mix: Sparkling aventurine green spiraled with alternating strands of a soft purple color called Night Sky comprises this smooth variant.
10) Space mix: This unique mix introduces a layer of black beneath the Starry Night mix. Best appreciated up close, observing this mix in detail can feel like staring up into the night sky.
11) Clear (bubble feature): This variant will feature only crystal clear glass with a unique combination of bubbles within the square.
12) Clear bubble-less: For a crystal clear solid glass square with minimal bubbles, select this option!
