My God, where did you get it, sir?
You're the chosen one. |
|
By:
Ive never seen one like it before
|
|
By:
It looks very well made I must say.
|
|
By:
Does it belong to you, or have you copied the image from the internet somewhere?
|
|
By:
My missus has just recieved it as a christmas gift
Dont know what the hell it is though |
|
By:
Can I have a look from another angle please?
|
|
By:
With a coin beside it to give an indication of size.
|
|
By:
Jewelery of some kind. Interesting. What is it?
|
|
By:
The 'arm' bit is jointed and has tiny magnets on it so it closes around the 'crystal' part
|
|
By:
shame so ugly feckers face is seen in the glass.
|
|
By:
Is your wife Scandinavian by any chance?
|
|
By:
egyptian
|
|
By:
Ah, I see. I only ask because the Danes and Swedes open their Christmas presents on the 24th.
|
|
By:
I have seen something similar before but have no idea what it is.
|
|
By:
Can you swivel the crystal so the metal forms a chain with the glass outside?
|
|
By:
Not really egyptian
She's from Derbyshire Just thought it sounded more myterious The gift is from someone in France |
|
By:
Just d/loading more pics
The crystal swivels but not so it can be on the outside of the jointed arm |

Great Scott!
Its a Flux Capacitor. |
|
By:
Is it some kind of jeweler's loupe (magnifying glass)?
|
|
By:
Thanks Crisp.
That is indeed a mystery. |
|
By:
Can't be that Bill; the glass has an opaque back.
|
|
By:
Cant see through it
It has a black rubbery backing |
|
By:
Can you remove the glass and place a picture or a pressed flower behind it?
It might be a device that presents such objects in an amusing manner. |
|
By:
that first picture seems to show some sort of animal trapped in it!
|
|
By:
It's a dilithium crystal.
|
|
By:
i think it is a Fly's eye type toy where you can see mutliple images through it. not sure why the back is black though?
|
|
By:
its a false eye holder u can see the eye inside
|
|
By:
Backing and glass appear to be pretty secure and cant get them off.
New development though..the crystal bit slides out on its pivot around 10 mm http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/4561/p1000057z.jpg |
|
By:
Ive changed my mind ,its something from outer space I.M.O
|
|
By:
what happens if you shine a torch light into it? is it like a disco mirror ball?
|
|
By:
where did u get it ?
|
|
By:
does it spin when shut?
whats that bit in the middle of the biggest link thing? |
|
By:
sorry seen above post
|
|
By:
Well, it might be capable of focussing the sun's rays to start a fire. Perhaps a faceted lens can do this better than a smooth one? Just a wild guess.
|
|
By:
2 of the links have tiny magnets on them and they line up with 2 tiny magnets on the side of the crystal so it prevents it from spinning while closed up.
This will make for a good quiz over Christmas for visiting family |
|
By:
Magnets.. crystal .. some new age type life cleansing thingy imo, channel ones inner light and all that.
|
|
By:
Just shone a torch into it and it projected a secret map onto the ceiling.
Just kidding.... worked like a glitter ball and shone random lights everywhere |
|
By:
* mirror ball
