Olive green, warm amber, and deep earthen brown; this tall hand-carved onyx vase is shaped from luminous natural stone, revealing layered bands of mossy green, caramel, honey, and rust with soft blush veining throughout. Subtle translucency allows light to move through the stone, giving the surface a quiet glow that shifts throughout the day.

Its elongated cylindrical form and rounded pedestal base create a sense of grounded elegance; structured yet organic, refined yet raw. The contrast between creamy green onyx and rich brown banding makes this piece feel both earthy and sculptural, rooted in nature and timeless in form.

Style it with fresh or dried florals, eucalyptus stems, or a single branch—or let it stand alone as a sculptural object. Whether placed on a dining table, console, shelf, or entryway, this vase brings depth, warmth, and intention into your space.

Each vase is carved from a single block of natural onyx by artisans in Balochistan, Pakistan. No two pieces are ever the same—natural veining, color variation, and subtle markings are part of the stone’s story and beauty.

— the origin

carved from a single stone.

Onyx forms in slow, mineral-rich pockets underground — layers laid down over thousands of years. Each slab is split once, then carved by hand, which is why no two pieces share the same ribboning.

We keep the walls thin so light passes through when the piece sits on a window ledge.
