Before weather apps, sailors trusted crystals in a bottle. The storm glass (a forecasting instrument favored by a 19th-century navy admiral) reads the sky by forming shifting crystal patterns inside its sealed tube.
Set the glass tube in its beechwood base on a windowsill and watch the solution of ethanol, water, and natural camphor cloud and crystallize as conditions change. Part instrument, part sculpture, it's a handsome desk companion for weather nerds, science lovers, and hard-to-shop-for dads.
