# Amber Hourglass Spindle

An amber-lit glass hourglass whose lens-shaped bulbs and axial sand grains morph across four states under spectral balance: a fat molten glass bulb, a ribbed brass vase, a faceted crystal gem, and a slender glass spindle trailing a long needle spire. Bass swells the bulbs, treble draws out the spire and facets, mid drives a slow precession. Rests as the molten glass bulb.
