Rainbow Tree of Life Window Sun Catcher

Sun catchers are decorative objects typically made of glass, crystals, metal, or other reflective materials designed to catch and reflect sunlight. When placed in a sunny window or outdoor space, they scatter light into beautiful patterns, colors, or rainbows, bringing a sense of beauty, peace, and energy into a space.

They are both artistic and symbolic, often used for aesthetic, spiritual, and energetic purposes.
