The Magician's Secret is a magnificent blend of metallic blues, purples, copper, gold and silver tones. The unusual combination brings some fun energy to the box both inside and out. The layers of acrylic paint are stacked to create the illusion of dimension on the lid. The interior of the box is just as vibrant. One on end you'll see turquoise stones sticking slightly out of the resin. It gives some additional dimension to the box. If you don't like the turquoise poking out of the resin, check out some of the other alchemy boxes. Also, if you look closer you'll see glitter shimmering along with the metallic paint inside. The exterior is painted with a vibrant purple that brings this whimsical piece together.
Welcome to the Alchemy Box Collection. Each upcycled cigar box is custom-painted using various types of acrylic paints (I primarily use a method called fluid paint pour) which creates wild and one-of-a-kind patterns.
Each acrylic color is blended in such a way that it creates fantastical layers when combined with other pigments. Parts of the box (usually the lid and inside base) are sealed with a premium quality epoxy resin coating to protect the artwork and to make those colors really stand out. You'll often find metallic flecks purposely mixed into the resin to add another layer of magic.
Every box is intentionally painted with healing and manifestation energy. There are many different uses for the boxes, but some can be used to store, protect and charge crystals, Oracle and Tarot decks, jewelry, pens, watches, incense, sage, as well as manifestation journals and much more. Please check the measurements to make sure the box will suit your needs.

While great care has been taken to select cigar boxes in very good to excellent condition, some may have small nicks or minor dents in the wood. I've done as much as possible to mitigate any of those aspects -- and in some cases have installed better hinges and clasps. Please note that because these boxes had tobacco in them, you may detect a light, sweet smell which should fade with a little time. Each box has been laquered as well as epoxy-resin coated so you may not even detect the scent of tobacco. Lastly, working with epoxy resin is always a joyful challenge. Keep in mind some boxes will cure with small air bubbles trapped in the resin. In other instances, the resin coating may be slightly thinner on portions of the lid or base or sides (sides are not likely to be treated with resin). Lastly, some of the boxes will have some of the manufacturer's text embedded in the wood or paint. Some text I paint over completely while others I leave alone because I like the treatment that's been done. Look at the photos and video to make sure you're getting a box that makes you happy :).
