Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 469.7 Hz, 13 cents sharp of B♭4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

How to play
Tap it to turn it round; drag to turn it yourself.
About it
A cluster of clear crystals, captured from photos and drawn with splats. A crystal forms when atoms stack in a repeating pattern, usually while a mineral-rich liquid cools or dries slowly. Slow growth gives sharp faces that bend and bounce light.
Tap it and the crystal turns once round, so the glints move across its faces. Drag to turn it: the glints move across the faces because this capture keeps a little view-dependent shine.
