Measuring 6.25" wide and almost 1" thick, the purple Cygnus paperweight weighs in at 2.84oz.
Milled from purpleheart wood, in addition to the wood's purple color, the paperweight's other distinction is its unusually long name, rather befitting of the odd, literally dozens of purple knight guys.
When freshly cut the heartwood of purpleheart can be a dull grayish/purplish brown. Upon exposure—usually within a few days—the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. This color-shift can be slowed and minimized by using a UV inhibiting finish on the wood.
