No. 70 – Lunar Calendar, Crystal Orb & Selenite Moon Circle | 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 the sky — from the full arc of the lunar month, every phase accounted for, the moon tracked from dark to full and back again, all of it held in one place under a crown of silver.

This circular resin piece is the most intentionally celestial in the Miniature Worlds collection — round, smooth-domed, approximately 5” diameter × 1” high, with a complete border ring of silver mercury-glass pearl beads encircling the full perimeter — a planetary ring, a crown of silver orbs, a frame worthy of the night sky it holds. The resin is the deepest, most luminous midnight navy and indigo yet — deep blue-black with cobalt swirls and an abundant scatter of white star flecks throughout, gold shimmer catching between them — a true star field, accurate and vast. Across the field, four silver crescent moon charms are placed at different positions and orientations — waxing crescent, waning crescent, quarter phase, and new — together they map the complete lunar cycle, a calendar written in silver against the stars. At upper left, a large clear crystal or glass sphere — a crystal orb, perfectly transparent, the full moon in its most luminous and crystalline form. At upper right, a large flat round disc of pure white selenite or white stone — smooth, glowing white, the full moon at maximum.
