This block runs differently than the last. Balochistan onyx pulled from a new break, three carvings, each carrying a different argument for the same stone: one holds sage-green marbling knotted through with rust and a single dark ember at its center. One runs a clean field of rust straight into sage banding on the front, then breaks into canyon-strata stripes on the back. One goes soft on the front, coral cloud drifting through cream, and hard on the back, plum breaking against a raw orange blot.

Choose the vein that's yours. What you see is the exact piece you'll receive, and once a colorway is chosen, that particular stone is gone.

STRATA · VEIN · WEIGHT

STRATA — Single-source Balochistan onyx, hand-carved, finished in San Diego. Each piece cut from its own break in the block.
VEIN — Sage Ember: sage-green and cream marbling threaded with rust, a dark ember-black inclusion at center; the back quiets to a pale cream field with a single thin rust vein. Canyon Stripe: a solid rust field breaking into sage marbling on the front, resolving into banded canyon-strata stripes of sage, cream, rust, and umber on the back. Coral Cloud: soft coral drifting through cream on the front, deepening into plum banding broken by a raw orange blot on the back. The photos guide you to color; they aren't a contract.
WEIGHT — Approx. 1.25 lb each.
