Curious Item Club - Biosphere Boulders
Added 2015-09-04 17:27:23 +0000 UTCSeven large boulders hang suspended in mid-air. Upon each boulder (in a full 360 degrees) is a tiny, unique biosphere.
First Boulder: Covered in a bioluminescent fungus that reacts to the proximity of life by changing color and pattern.
Second Boulder: Covered in short-cropped ghost grass (a pale, translucent grass of remarkable strength; many primitive cultures weave it into clothing, particularly ritualistic costumes). The “landscape” is studded with bonsai darkwood trees.
Third Boulder: A bonsai forest of black ash, chestnuts, elms, and honey-locust trees.
Fourth Boulder: A black, grass-like growth that’s twisted into corkscrews. It’s razor-sharp to the touch and studded with blood-red stalks.
Fifth Boulder: A glittering crystal latticework sprawls across the irregular surface, with larger outcroppings of the crystal linked by beams of force energy.
Sixth Boulder: A multi-hued, ever-morphing slime mold dances across its surface.
Seventh Boulder: Etched by small rivers that flow in an impossible pattern of perpetual motion through fields of gently waving green grass.
