Магнит лёгкий, но перламутр на ощупь гладкий и слегка прохладный, приятно взять в руки. Повесил на холодильник, смотрится аккуратно.

Stuck this on my fridge and the mother-of-pearl catches the kitchen light just right. Looks like something my grandmother might have brought back from Seoul, but smaller.
