I found this gorgeous amethyst Caithness paper weight at a thrift shop and gave it to my mom. The bubble with swirls around it is gorgeous in the warm lavender glow.
Anyone know when this signed Caithness paperweight and, I guess, the Mooncrystal series, came out?
Sweet Gift for Mom ( with Mothers Day around the Corner ) !!!!
I didn't see that particular series listed here, but I could have missed it:

Caithness have two listed currently, so they are still in production:

There's information about the designers here:

I believe you said you weren't on Facebook, they do have a page there:

Perhaps write and ask them?
Thank you, Antique Rose. :)
Wow, Katherine, you did so much research for me!
What a beautiful gift for your mom!
EfesGirl, thank you. After I gave it to her yesterday, she said how badly she needed some at work. So today I picked her up another but different paperweight. LOL.
This one, under more yellow artificial light, interestingly turns a milky blue.
Nicefice, thank you. :)
