The kit includes a base and a sand substrate to fill it with; 9 beautiful, hematite stones (a carbon-based crystalline stone); and a 32 page miniature book on the art of building stacked stones structures.

Tiny Salt Mood Lamp

A real lamp, made out of real Himalayan pink salt — but tiny!

This fun kit from RP Minis also includes a 32-page miniature book that tells you everything you need to know about your mood lamp and the reasoning behind each color of the color-changing light.
