Sola Microcube - Volvox Carteri

A type of green alga that lives in freshwater and performs photosynthesis. It has "somatic cells" on the surface of its spherical body and rotates by moving two flagella that grow from each somatic cell.

Inspired by the beauty and mystery of nature, Sola Cubes preserve plant and other previously living specimens in crystal clear acrylic or glass - ready to display as part of your own personal cabinet of curiosities.

Appreciated individually or in groups, these look especially nice when arranged together in collections. They are exquisite objects d'art for your desk, study, or living space and will renew your sense of wonder with each examination. Simple display stands are available separately.

Each Microcube measures 2 x 2 x 2 in (5 x 5 x 5 cm) and is carefully handcrafted from glass and real botanical specimens, making each one unique. During the production process, fine air bubbles or powder-like material may occur inside the cube; however, this is not considered a defect.

Material -  Glass
