This is a pryamid snow globe which lights up in 7 different colors and patterns (a push button is used to change the patterns or for steady burning color). Inside the pryamid is a a quartz crystal that houses the light. The snow globe is 5 1/2" tall with the maple base. The pryamid is put together as a a 3D stained glass piece with copper foil. Glitter was just for the snow.This is my first one and is all original. It was hard to take a clear picture of the snow globe and still be able to see the colors light up, this is why the picture is so dark.
