Fantastic Curiosity Box - Original Handmade Creation - "Grain Eclipse" Crab

A fragment of an enchanted world to collect

"I saw it when the light faded, just as the sun stopped hitting the sand. It wasn't running away. It was waiting for me. Silent, as if it already knew my name."

Each box is a precious capsule, containing a rare creature collected during astral or dreamlike expeditions, in lands forgotten by our perceptions. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities, each piece is unique and meant to be collected. 

Collection Record No. 125 – "Grain Eclipse" Crab

Common Name
Grain Eclipse Crab

Scientific Name
Solcrabus auratilis

Collection Location
Dunes of Silmaë, at the junction of warm winds, under the arch of Roche-Mémoire

Collection Date
Esteem Equinox — 2nd breath of the Year

Natural Habitat
It is found buried in areas almost too quiet to exist. It emerges when the wind dies down and the sky turns beige. It always orientates itself to the memory of footsteps.

Special Features
Its sand-colored shell is covered with golden micro-sequins that capture fragments of forgotten light. It has a strange ability: it gently erases overly heavy thoughts if one stares at it. Some collectors refer to it as a "memory crab."

It is said that it chooses its guardians based on what they are willing to let go.

Anecdote of the encounter
"It didn't move while I smiled. Then, as I took a deep breath, it turned around and disappeared; I heard it laughing in the distance."
