Rainbow Vision Sand Picture -- Deep Sea, Admiral (Brown)

I got this as a desk gift for my husband to put on his desk at the office. The falling sand is quite lovely and has a nice calming effect. The product was very well packaged and there were no problems with the condition it was received in. I thought this might be a frankly kinda lame gift, nice but unextraordinary, but my husband loves it and it is beautiful and well crafted. I like having it at home too, and the brown colors of the sand, mixed with a little glitter is beautiful coloring.

It’s quite beautiful to watch and makes for a very unique gift. I’m very disappointed in the brown framing and base though. It’s a color I’d say is Hershey bar milk chocolate and in the soft rubbery type of plastic they use it distracts and detracts from the look —instead of being a deep rich color it makes it look cheap. I wish I had gotten the black.

It's very nice, just as described - but I've found something I didn't expect - it's a ton of fun to adjust it, just a little, to tweak how the sand is falling. Unlike a normal square sand picture, you can tilt this one. So I tilt it a bit to get a proper bubble layout, then when it's moving too fast or too slow, I can tilt it to a new position. It's mesmerizing watching the way the sand moves as it falls, watching the bubbles try to close the gaps, looking at the finished product, making a new one.

When we took it out the box at Christmas time it was cracked we were very sad and very disappointed

I was rather disappointed with this product. It looks cheap when you see the real deal and the sand doesn't look anything like the picture or what I thought. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Especially not for the price.

One of the most mesmerizing objects in my house that people cannot stop playing with. Getting the air ratio correct requires a syringe, which is provided. I only wish, and I'm serious about this.... that I could buy one of these that was about 4 feet wide and rectangular... even if it cost $500, I'd buy it... especially if it had a "swivel arm" so I could easily flip it over... add another $100 for a little solar powered or battery powered, or corded I suppose, motor that automatically flips this around every few hours would be *awesome*.

This thing rules. I keep it in my office and my coworkers (also geologists) love stopping by and checking out what cool pseudo-volcano/mass transport/progradational packages it comes up with. Shake it up for finer bubbles and different depositional rates/features. The advantage of this particular shape (as opposed to rectangular) is that you can rotate the frame during or after deposition and produce slump features or even pseduo-faults. 10/10 would buy again

I bought this for my father for Christmas and he really liked it. We had one similar to this years ago and he was surprised to see it. I also bought the "midnight" sand picture and I do like it better than this one. There is more area for the sand to fall and create mountains and it is much better with a dark back ground than the see through glass. For the price I do recommend the rectangular Sand pictures over this round one.
