The Trifid Nebula, cataloged by astronomers as Messier 20 or NGC 6514, is a well-known region of star formation lying within our own Milky Way Galaxy. It is called the Trifid because the nebula is overlain by three bands of obscuring interstellar dust, giving it a trisected appearance, much like this collection. with the bands of overlapping shades of blues, purples and pinks, it's hard not to see where these little beauties get their name. This particular collection comes with five different tear drop shapes to choose from, all of which have resin secured, stainless steel posts.
