I was drawn to this Sola Cube’s unique concept and vibrant orange calcite inclusion. The craftsmanship is impressive – you can see the organic leaf perfectly preserved inside. It’s a lovely decorative piece that adds warmth to my desk. The 4x4x4cm size fits perfectly in small spaces. While pricey at $57, the handcrafted quality from Kyoto makes it feel special. Reminds me of Glenn Close’s appreciation for artisanal pieces.
