No. 66 – Banded Agate Sun, Diamond Rays & Starburst Oval | Miniature Worlds Paperweight

Every Miniature World begins with a single bead — and a question: what story does it want to tell? This one answered from 93 million miles away — from the moment the Sun decides to send its light in every direction at once, diamond rays into the dark, and the cosmos catches what it can.

This oval rounded-rectangle resin piece is the most celestial in the Miniature Worlds collection. Approximately 5” wide × 3” tall × 1” high, horizontal orientation, smooth full dome. The resin is a solar corona — vivid rose-pink, burnt orange, warm white, and deep cobalt blue swirling together in the colors of the Sun at maximum, scattered throughout with multi-colored cosmic dust — blue, gold, and orange glitter like particles of light caught mid-flight. At left center, the Sun itself: a large oval banded agate cabochon in warm caramel, rust orange, cream, and gold — banded and glowing, ancient and radiant. Across its crown, a delicate arc of crystal rhinestones curves like a solar flare ring — the diamond rays sent outward. To the right, a spectacular circular rhinestone starburst brooch — vivid red and coral druzy or enamel at its center, surrounded by a full border of dark gunmetal and hematite rhinestones — a red giant star, or Mars catching the solar wind. Scattered through the cosmic field: a blue topaz chip, a small red garnet, a tiny gold disc — the debris of creation.
