Originally $92. Older than the names we've put on it. Balochistan stone, pale sage pooling into cream on one half, then breaking into a deep burgundy field on the other, hand-cut in a crosshatch that catches light from every direction it's turned. Thin rust veins run through the dark like fault lines the stone kept from some older pressure. The carver didn't smooth any of it out. Small imperfections mark the surface here. They don't touch how it holds or how it reads. One of a kind. The exact piece you'll receive.

Set it where a hand can find it without looking — the entry table, the nightstand, the edge of the desk. Rings, keys, coins, whatever the day hands you at the door. Sealed in beeswax, not lacquer, so it takes the room's light rather than throwing it back.

STRATA · VEIN · WEIGHT

VEIN — Sage and cream on one side, deep burgundy on the other, threaded with fine rust veining. The photo guides you to the color; it isn't a contract.
