Sea Urchin

A digital simulation of vibrant, needle-like red crystals forming within a glass laboratory flask. The simulation depicts two spherical, pom-pom-shaped clusters with many sharp points radiating outward. Smaller red crystalline flakes are scattered around the main clusters and along the curved interior of the virtual glass, all submerged in or resting against a clear fluid.
