Standing Cross - Brown Square Hollow

8 inches by 8 inches. This standing granite cross for tabletop use is our newest hollow style. The brown granite cross sits inside the middle of a square frame. The granite is a beautiful multi-hued brown, with rusty areas and small black flecks. The corners have rectangular blocks for accent. There is a square in the center as well in the accent color. Typically, when the granite is highlighted with color enhancer on the cut edges, the color is the same as the finished face. In this case the cut edges are lighter since they did not darken or intensify. My original intent was to make this cross all one color but I like this much more! The color difference adds to the character of the piece and we will make many more intentionally now that have blocks and center squares in an accent color. This will be the only square hollow though, that will have the different inside and outside edge colors.

Small imperfections are part of the beauty of handcrafted, natural products and are often intentional in my work.

The cool, smooth, earthy feel of our crosses will have everyone wanting to touch them, so we recommend cleaning with water or granite and marble cleaner only. Color enhancer for stone is used on the cut edges, to accentuate the natural colors in the stone. The back of the cross is unfinished.
