Against the softly coloured glow of a clear, star-filled night sky, a unique glass insert captures the otherworldly beauty of a supernova crafted by borosilicate artist Lo •c Beaumont-Tremblay. The crystal-clear globule of boro glass contains an opal that represents the dying star, which is meticulously positioned over a darkly coloured background and surrounded by wisps of swirled glass and glow-in-the-dark colours. There is a remarkably luminous quality to the insert that conveys this stellar explosion of light and energy, which could easily outshine the glow of its own galaxy-even if only temporarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784955801675,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.002895 - BC1610","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_5509c8a3-dcb7-4b11-8d7f-6d7e28e4b086.jpg?v=1717053333","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2016-d20-the-burke-gaffney-observatory-the-universe-pf-1_009oz_-_9999-bc1610","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
