Rounded Earthstar Pendant

geastrum saccatum

The earthstar initially looks like an egg or puffball. It splits open into a star shape with 5 - 8 rays that curve backward to the base, exposing the spore case in the center. 

Each fungi pendant is a study in glass of a specific mushroom that interests me. I try to create the colors and details accurate to each species. A meaningful and unique piece for a fungi nerd or aspiring mycologist. 

This earthstar is painted with gold luster to represent a cloud of spores.

Handmade of borosilicate glass and painted with gold luster
