Share the Love Paperweight

Any day is Valentine's Day when you share your love with one of these delightful little kisii stone paperweights. In assorted patterns of red, black, and white, each is hand-carved and decorated. Kisii soapstone, found only in Kenya, is a soft stone, easy to carve into many forms. Its satiny finish is achieved through multiple stages of sanding, followed by waxing. In some cases, as with this piece, artisans also apply color.
