Prawn Diaphonised Specimen Jar

Science looked at a prawn, dissolved everything but the truth, and produced something that belongs on your shelf forever.

Diaphonisation is a preservation process that removes all opacity from soft tissue and stains bone and cartilage, leaving the specimen in a state somewhere between biology and art. What you get here is a real prawn, rendered in ghostly translucent detail, floating in a sealed specimen jar. It's the kind of object that sits at the intersection of natural history, dark aesthetic, and genuine scientific process, and it will outlast most things you own. Australian made, genuinely handmade, and no two are the same because no two prawns are the same.

Each specimen is unique in colour and structure. Sealed glass jar. As a natural specimen, variations in colour and form are part of the piece.
