Heart Stone Dish: Solid Elegance, Lasting Impact

Kisii Soapstone, Skill, and Story

In Kenya’s Kisii Highlands, artisans quarry soft talc-rich stone, then hand-carve each piece into a graceful 4-inch heart dish. Edges are smoothed with river sand; the interior is polished to a satin finish that shows off the stone’s natural swirls—think creamy ivory veined with subtle blush or gray. Every purchase delivers Prosperity Wages that fund school fees and family farms, transforming local stone into sustainable opportunity.

Ways to Share the Love

• Jewelry Rest – Keep rings and watches bedside; the smooth surface protects delicate pieces.
• Entry Catch-All – Hold keys, earbuds, or spare change in a bowl that’s hard to overlook.
• Candle & Crystal Base – Use as a heat-safe stand for votives or as a grounding tray for gemstones.
• Thoughtful Gift – Pair with chocolates or a hand-written note for weddings, anniversaries, or Mother’s Day.

PRODUCT CARE

• Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth; for stubborn marks, use mild dish soap, rinse, and dry fully.
• Polish: Restore luster with a drop of mineral oil, buffing gently with a soft cloth.
• Handling: Soapstone is durable yet can chip if dropped; place on stable surfaces.
• Food Use: Safe for dry foods (nuts, wrapped candies); not recommended for acidic or oily foods.
