Kisii Stone Decorative Box: Safeguard Treasures, Empower Makers

Quarried, Carved, and Cherished

High in Kenya’s Kisii Hills, artisans quarry talc-rich soapstone, saw it into rough blanks, then hand-carve each piece into a palm-sized square box with a snug-fitting lid. River-sand polishing reveals natural marbling—creamy ivory veined with blush, grey, or caramel. A subtle etched band circles the lid, highlighting the stone’s satin glow. Every purchase delivers Prosperity Wages that cover school fees and farm inputs, turning local stone into sustainable opportunity.

Stow & Showcase

• Jewelry Keeper – Store rings, earrings, or cuff links; the smooth interior safeguards delicate metals.
• Desk Accent – Hide paper clips or flash drives while adding understated elegance to your workspace.
• Sentimental Safe – Hold love notes, prayer beads, or tiny souvenirs in a piece as enduring as the memories inside.

PRODUCT CARE

• Cleaning – Wipe with a damp cloth; mild soap for residue, rinse, dry fully.
• Polish – Restore sheen with a drop of mineral oil, buff gently.
• Handling – Soapstone is durable yet can chip if dropped; place on stable surfaces.
• Food Safety – Best for dry, non-oily items.
