What is our Large Horseshoe Suncatcher?

This is a unique wood, copper and crystal Horseshoe Suncatcher which we make in Co. Leitrim, Ireland. 

We use ethically and locally sourced Irish wood and high-quality Egyptian Asfour crystals.

When hung in a window the sunlight catches the crystal, which acts as a prism and disperses rainbows all around your room. 

This is an ideal gift from Ireland for any age or occasion, for him or for her, for weddings, remembrance, special occasions, new baby, christening gift or baby shower gift, birthdays, and Mother’s Day. Or for anyone who needs a bit of luck!

The finer details:

The wooden horseshoe is approximately 6″ (150mm) long at its longest part.

The Suncatcher comes with a choice of crystals, namely:

• Angel: a 1.2″ (30mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal with Tibetan silver wings, a 0.5″(14mm)∅ Asfour crystal head and a Preciosa crystal crown, or
• Sphere: a 1.5″ (40mm) ∅ Sphere Asfour crystal (round ball shape), or
• Sun: a 1.75″ (45mm)∅ Sun Asfour crystal (flat disc shape)

We protect the wood by using approximately 4-6 coats of Danish Oil. We also use extremely strong, high quality braided fishing line to hang our suncatchers. Moreover, this string does not degrade in sunlight and therefore is ideal for hanging in a sunny window.

The string measures approx 16″ (400mm) from the top of the moon to the metal hoop which is used for hanging.

Please be aware that we have designed our suncatchers for indoor use and have not tested them outdoors.

What else do I need to know about the Wooden Horseshoe Suncatcher with crystal rainbow-maker?

Because all wood is unique and varies slightly, your exact suncatcher may differ from the above images in this listing. Without a doubt, we will make sure that each and every piece is of equal natural beauty. We aim for 100% satisfaction with all of our rainbow-makers.

Our Horseshoe Suncatcher is made out of Walnut wood and comes with 16 copper studs to give it an authentic Horseshoe look.

About the wood choices:

In Irish Folklore, wood has undeniably a strong relationship with the Irish people. They believed the trees to be sacred and magical. In addition, each tree has its own inherent properties.

Anything else?

In Feng Shui wood is the element of “new beginnings”. What’s more, in the home it has a positive effect on growth, healthy energy and family life. Crystals bring positive energy into homes. They particularly bestow hope, joy and good luck. They activate positive and diffuse negative energy.
