This is a very unique and interesting "Vase" made from Mariposa Slate found in Yosemite Valley and The Studio in the Valley. Each stone is shaped individually and combined with a pin flower frog. This measures approx 10 1/4" across x 8 1/4" wide. It is a beautiful piece in good condition and has original instructions. I have never used it as a vase - I collect alot of different rocks and stone and petrified wood. sale TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Please email me with any questions.
