...ancient instrument from the time when weather forecasting was born...

THE STORM GLASS IS AN ANCIENT METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENT THAT WAS USED TO FORECAST THE WEATHER IN THE 19TH CENTURY. IT IS A SEALED GLASS AMPOULE CONTAINING A SPECIAL SOLUTION IN WHICH A VARIETY OF CRYSTALLINE FORMATIONS GROW DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES.
