Knife block from Himalaya | Big Diamond Cut

Details

Knife block made of Himalayan stone with two holding holes for wooden spoons.

The Himalaya is a rust-colored migmatite from India. This material is particularly impressive due to its wave-like, lively structure, which is created by black and reddish-brown minerals and crystalline rocks. A migmatite is a rock in which partial melting had begun but did not continue to the end. It therefore has both metamorphic and magmatic features and usually has a different appearance.
