Originally crafted as projector components, these cube-shaped optical glass prisms contain a special internal film that separates light into its three primary colours: red, green, and blue. Some prisms are discarded due to minute imperfections such as scratches or chips. These are transformed into captivating light-reflecting objects by sealing them in acrylic resin. When touched by sunlight―especially at dawn or dusk―they emit rainbow-like light. The Prism Ball can be rolled across your desk or displayed using the included ring.

William ★★★★★

The cube shape throws these tiny red, green, and blue rainbows across my wall when the afternoon sun hits it, which is way more interesting than the flat rainbow a normal hanging crystal gives you. I keep it on the kitchen sill and it's become the first thing I look at with my coffee.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

Sat these on my kitchen windowsill and by afternoon there were little red, green, and blue patches crawling across the wall. The glass is heavier and clearer than I expected for the price. My kid keeps repositioning them just to watch the colors move.

Jason ★★★★★

These prism cubes split sunlight into red, green, and blue bands that dance across my kitchen wall every afternoon. I've got three sitting on the windowsill, and honestly the color separation is way crisper than I expected from something this small. Hours of free entertainment for my cat too.
