Description

Adorn your office table or a shelf in your house with this mesmerizing twist on the hourglass. Filled with iron fillings instead of sand, the Magnetic Hourglass has a rare earth magnet in its base which inexorably draws the fillings towards it. They create formations almost like stalagmites, a kinetic sculptural performance which you can enjoy for hours - 30 seconds at a time.
