  FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a decorative figurine 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a refraction principle for incident light in the decorative figurine 10. Note that both the absolute refractive index and the relative refractive index used in the present description are for visible light.

  The decorative figurine 10 includes a glass container 20 made of a colorless and transparent glass material, an oil 30 accommodated in the glass container 20, and a preserved flower (stored and processed) that is accommodated in the glass container 20 together with the oil 30 and immersed in the oil 30. And a plurality of transparent or translucent polyhedral catadioptric stones 50 that are housed in the glass container 20 together with the oil 30 and the preserved flower and sink to the bottom of the glass container 20. Typically, the catadioptric stone 50 having a diameter of about several millimeters to several tens of millimeters is used.

  The glass container 20 includes a container main body 21, a mouth portion 22 provided on the upper portion of the container main body 21, and a cap 23 that closes the mouth portion 22 in a liquid-tight manner.

  The oil 30 is selected from silicone oil, liquid paraffin, mineral oil, or the like. The catadioptric stone 50 is also selected from various materials such as birthstones. The combination of the oil 30 and the catadioptric stone 50 is selected such that the relative refractive index nX of both is not less than a predetermined value, preferably not less than 1.1. Typically, the catadioptric stone 50 is arbitrarily selected according to the user's preference, and the oil 30 is selected from silicone oil, liquid paraffin, mineral oil or other liquid according to the catadioptric stone 50 arbitrarily selected. Is done. Thereby, the surface reflectance of the catadioptric stone 50 can be increased, the reflected light can be increased, and the preserved flower 40 can be illuminated from below.

  The preserved flower 40 is an ornamental flower or plant that has been dehydrated by a special liquid for preservation processing, and can prevent fading for a long period of time.

  The catadioptric stone 50 is, for example, moonstone, quartz / red pearl (carnelian), pearl, quartz / quartz (crystal), quartz / purple crystal (Amethyst), quartz / yellow quartz (citrine). , Beryl / emerald, beryl / aquamarine, turquoise, yellow, topaz, tourmaline, peridot, jade, jade One or more types are appropriately selected from garnet), coral, steel balls / red balls (rubies), steel balls / blue balls (sapphires), gold stones (diamonds) and the like. These catadioptric stones 50 are so-called birthstones. In addition, by using a polyhedron, the boundary surface becomes a flat surface, a desired relative refractive index can be obtained, and reflection and diffusion in multiple directions can be expected.

  When silicone oil is selected as the oil 30, the absolute refractive index n1 is 1.4, and when the catadioptric stone 50 is selected, the absolute refractive index n2 is 1.54. Since the relative refractive index nX = n2 / n1 between the oil 30 and the catadioptric stone 50 is selected, when silicone oil is selected as the oil 30 and amethyst is selected as the catadioptric stone 50, the relative refractive index nX = about 1 .1.

  The decorative figurine 10 configured as described above can achieve the following effects. That is, incident light N incident from the outside of the glass container 20 passes through the oil 30 and further irradiates the catadioptric stone 50. At this time, if the absolute refractive indexes of the oil 30 and the catadioptric stone 50 are different, a part of the incident light N is reflected at the interface between the oil 30 and the catadioptric stone 50 as shown in FIG. The part is refracted. That is, the incident light N that has entered the oil 30 at an angle θ1 with respect to the interface is refracted at an angle θ2 with respect to the interface when entering the catadioptric stone 50. A part of the incident light N exceeding the critical angle is reflected by the surface of the catadioptric stone 50 to illuminate the preserved flower 40 from below. As a result, the preserved flower 40 floats and can be visually recognized as if it floats fantastically in the oil 30. The light that has entered the catadioptric stone 50 repeats internal reflection, causing the catadioptric stone 50 to fade. When the relative refractive index nX between the catadioptric stone 50 and the oil 30 is preferably 1.1 or more, these phenomena increase and the decorativeness is further improved.

  Further, as described above, the catadioptric stone 50 is selected according to the user's preference, for example, a birthstone, and the type of the oil 30 is selected so that the relative refractive index nX is preferably 1.1 or more. As described above, it is possible to ensure a high decorative property, customize according to the user's preference, and improve the user's satisfaction.

  3A is a diagram showing a relative refractive index nX with respect to the catadioptric stone 50 having an absolute refractive index n2 when a silicone oil having an absolute refractive index n1 of 1.4 is used. That is, if a catadioptric stone 50 having an absolute refractive index n2 of 1.54 or higher is selected, the relative refractive index nX is 1.1 or higher. For example, an amethyst can be selected as the catadioptric stone 50.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram showing the relative refractive index nX with respect to the catadioptric stone 50 with the absolute refractive index n2 when liquid paraffin or mineral oil having an absolute refractive index n1 of 1.48 is used. That is, if a catadioptric stone 50 having an absolute refractive index n2 of 1.65 or more is selected, the relative refractive index nX is 1.1 or more. For example, garnet can be selected as the catadioptric stone 50.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the decorativeness of the catadioptric stone 50 and the preserved flower 40 is enhanced by the incident light, and the customizability can be improved by selecting the catadioptric stone 50 according to the user's preference. Become.
