Title: Oversized Hand-Polished Banded Calcite Slab Ashtray – Honey Onyx Travertine – 11"
Statement Piece for Modern Interiors
This substantial, hand-carved ashtray is a masterclass in organic minimalism. Crafted from a single, heavy slab of Banded Calcite (often referred to as Honey Onyx or Mexican Travertine), this piece features a striking array of undulating sedimentary layers in shades of warm amber, rich honey, and creamy alabaster.
The top surface is polished to a high-luster, glass-like finish that beautifully highlights the stone's natural translucency, while the reverse remains in its raw, matte state, showcasing the authentic texture of the mineral.
