Black Slate Gems

Black Slate Gems

Black Slate Gems are small, hand-formed balls made of natural slate clay with dry, powdery surface and intense mineral character. The uniform balls appear simple and at the same time extraordinary - their dusty texture, the natural ash- and graphite tones as well as the compact shape give them a raw look, authentic charisma. Each ball has a slightly matt surface with fine mineral dust, the one on dry slate, reminiscent of weathered stone and natural earth. They fit comfortably in the hand, seem dense and compact and show the genuine structure of traditional clay.

The profile of the Black Slate Gems is strong, dry and deeply earthy. Already at first impression, intense slate notes with hints of dry concrete emerge, cool stone and mineral earth. The fine dusty nuances are reminiscent of rain on hot asphalt, on damp cellar walls made of natural stone and on fresh clay straight from the ground. The scent is natural, Rich in minerals and slightly cementitious, with a pleasant dryness and subtle smoky undertones. At the same time, the overall profile remains soft and harmonious, without sharp or sandy grains.
