Create a stunning souvenir and keepsake from your tropical vacations with The Rainforest from Heirloom Hourglass. The combination of deep green Verde Fontaine granite and solid oak create the unique aesthetic of a lush tropical rainforest opening up onto a golden sand beach. The Verde Fontaine granite selected for the bases originates in South Africa, and it displays a rich mix of dark forest greens and crystalline meadow greens accented by black obsidian flecks. The oak rope shaped pillars are finished to enhance the wood grain and reflect the light. The Rainforest is completed with a solid pewter ship wheel closure on each side, and they allow you to easily open and close your hourglass so it can hold your tropical beach sands. Imagine the golden sands of the Mexican coast, the white sands of a Florida beach or the pink sands of a Caribbean island flowing through your hourglass. Wherever your travels take you, bring home a little beach sand and The Rainforest will take you back to those moments in the sun each time you turn it over. The Rainforest also makes the perfect gift for the travel enthusiast, homeowner, or sand collector on your list. We offer many options for personalizing and customizing your hourglass, and you can include an optional engraved plate to mount on it that tells the place, event, or date your sands are from. A collection kit is included that contains all you need to collect your sands and fill your hourglass. This unique sand ceremony hourglass is the perfect addition to a wedding unity sand ceremony, family unity ceremony, or vow renewal ceremony. It is the perfect alternative to the unity candle for an outdoor wedding sand ceremony, destination beach wedding sand ceremony, or an inside wedding where a candle cannot be lit.  It also makes the perfect heartfelt gift for any occasion.
