Know before you buy
These stones are crafted from 940 million-year-old metamorphic gneiss, which offers a higher density and unique mineral composition compared to common soapstone. This allows them to retain cold temperatures effectively while providing a distinct, natural aesthetic with calcite crystal inclusions.
The stones are handcrafted and finished to be smooth, but as with any natural stone product, it is recommended to place them gently into your glass rather than dropping them to avoid potential impact damage to delicate crystal.
Once frozen for at least 30 minutes, the stones will chill your spirit significantly without the dilution caused by melting ice. While they won't keep a drink ice-cold for hours, they are designed to maintain a chilled temperature for the duration of a standard pour.
Yes, it is best practice to rinse the stones with water and let them air dry after each use. This ensures no residue from previous spirits affects the flavor profile of your next drink.
Absolutely. They are perfect for any spirit you want to chill without dilution, such as bourbon, scotch, rye, or even high-end tequilas and liqueurs.
