History:
The concept behind Sola Cubes marries two traditional Japanese values: a reverence for nature and a philosophical appreciation of small, humble elements that are easily overlooked. Each cube is cast from crystal clear acrylic resin and then hand polished, right down to its crisp, micro-radiused edge. Considerable craftsmanship is required to make the cubes, ensuring that no air bubbles are present. Preserved inside is a single mineral, the cubes create an opportunity for a meditative moment on the beauty and power of the natural world. Made in Kyoto, Japan by Usagi No Nedoko.

Materials:
Acrylic resin (cube) Mineral stone (specimen inside)

Variation:
The packaged mineral inside is sourced from nature so there will always be variation in size, color and shape. The packaged mineral you receive may or may not look exactly like the plant shown in the photo. Each solo cube is hand crafted so there may be slight bubbles or powder like material in the acrylic, but these are not considered defects.
