Description

PICASSO MARBLE CUBE BOX
Handcrafted in Italy
Stone source: Utah
Picasso Marble is a uniquely patterned stone that is only found in Utah. The stone has a body color that ranges from cream to light grey to medium grey. It exhibits sharply delineated intersecting lines of deep black and golden ochre. The resulting bold patterns resemble Cubist Art - hence the name "Picasso" Marble. The master lapidary artist who created this cubic box, expertly matched the top with all four sides and created a box that looks like it was painted even though the "painting" is completely natural. With a recessed gold-plated hinge and complimentary black Onyx interior and bottom, this cubic box measures 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 x 3 inches high, and is in very fine condition.
