As natural products, they possess individual characteristics and pattern variations. No two pieces are identical, and this uniqueness is a testament to their authenticity and design energy.

As part of our philosophy to have a curated gallery of work, we believe each variation of stone deserves an appreciation for its distinctiveness.
