FAQ
Will my piece look like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Each piece is cut from a different block, so the veining, the colour and the density of the markings change from one to the next. Two pieces of the same stone placed side by side will not match. This is the reason people buy stone rather than a printed surface.
Is there a cable?
No. The lamp is cordless, so it goes on a table outside, on a shelf with no socket near it, or down the length of a dinner table without anything running across the cloth. It charges by USB-C, and the cable lives in a drawer rather than on the table.
How long does a charge last?
Twelve hours at full brightness, and most of a week at the lowest of the three levels.
How bright is it?
2.5 W at 2500 K, which is the colour of a candle rather than a bulb. It is made to light a table and the faces around it, not a room.
How big is it, and how heavy?
24 cm tall, 9.5 in. The shade is 17.5 cm across, 7 in, and the stone base is 8 by 13 cm, 3.14 by 5.12 in. It is solid stone, so it has the weight of solid stone. It is meant to be carried from room to room with one hand, and to stay put once set down.
Can I use it outside?
On a covered terrace or a balcony in dry weather, yes. Do not leave it out in rain, and bring it in overnight. Stone takes water in, and freezing water splits it.
How do I clean it?
A soft damp cloth, then dry it. Nothing acidic, so no vinegar, no lemon, no bathroom or kitchen spray. Marble and travertine are calcium carbonate and acid eats the polish.
What if something spills on it?
Wipe it at once rather than letting it sit. Wine, oil and coffee are the three that mark. Travertine is the most open of the three stones and takes a mark fastest.
Will it mark over time?
Probably, and that is not a fault. Stone records what happens on it. The floors of Italian houses are two hundred years of that, and they are the better for it.
Which stone should I choose?
Calacatta Viola is the most dramatic, with deep red and purple veining. Travertine is the quietest and the warmest. Green Marble sits between them, darker, with a colder green. If the room is already busy, take travertine.
