A NOTE FROM NICK
I first encountered this material 30 years ago, and ever since, I’ve been searching for it. After years of inquiring, I finally sent a team directly to the old Iron Duke Mine, and we were thrilled to receive 300 kg of Pharaoh Stone. It’s incredible to have this rare and beautiful stone back in our collection!

Pharaoh Stone is a rare and striking material, composed of Black Basalt intricately streaked with golden Pyrite.
