Polaris
DESCRIPTION
At the end of the handle of the Little Dipper sits a very bright star. A very special star that never seems to move in relation to the North Pole of the Earth. It shines brightly in the same location all year long, it does not rise or set, making it an invaluable navigation tool.
And the name of this beautiful bright star is Polaris also known as the North or Pole Star or if you prefer Alpha Ursae Minoris. For travellers since the beginning of time, finding Polaris means you know where North is and consequently you know the way home.
Our Polaris is a rotating star around a crystal core. Tiny delicious sparkling fire polished beads twinkle throughout the spinning star. Cubic Right Angle Weave is used to give Polaris its shape and structure.
The beaded Polaris can be used as an ornament to adorn your Christmas tree or as a pendant to adorn yourself. It can also sit on your table as a fidget spinner while you ponder on the mystery and wonder of the stars that light our night sky.
