I bought this Sola Cube as a gift, and I’m really impressed by the craftsmanship. The aragonite crystal inspiration is evident in the design, and the preserved botanical inside is beautifully detailed. At 5x5x5 cm, it’s a perfect desk accent. The acrylic feels sturdy, though I wish it came with a display stand. It reminds me of Jesse Butler’s minimalist art pieces – simple yet captivating. Great value for a handcrafted item from Kyoto.
