Small enough to overlook. Impossible to forget once you haven't.
The Pachyrrhynchus weevil is one of nature's more deliberate accidents, a beetle that evolved metallic gold and copper iridescence for reasons science still argues about. Suspended in a rotating diamond frame with no backing and no apology, it catches light the way jewelry does, which is not a coincidence so much as a convergence.
Freestanding on a desk or mounted on a wall. Either way it holds its ground.
Ethically sourced. Handmade in Portland, Oregon.
Features:
Specimen: Pachyrrhynchus sp., metallic weevil, Philippines
Display: 2.76in floating diamond frame, rotates 360 degrees
Orientation: Freestanding or wall display
