Classic Agate Kaleidoscope

All kaleidoscopes are handmade and signed by the artist, Jon Greene.

Each tube starts as raw brass which is buffed to a high polish and coated with a hard, tarnish-free surface in a brass-plated finish for long-lasting beauty. The true artistry involves the wheels, one of which is composed of Brazilian agate slices, and the other of textured dichroic glass.

The images are created as a result of three-mirror systems which are made with an equilateral triangle of front-surface mirrors, creating a full field of images. Alternately, two-mirror systems are made with a black mat on the third side, creating a round image at the end of a black tunnel. Expanded two-mirror systems are made with the third side as a mirror, creating a round image surrounded by more of the same. Contains a +250 strength magnifying lens for a clear and sharp image.
