Magnificent Mezuzahs Crafted of Black Granite and Brass

Top mezuzah:  A small mezuzah crafted of black granite and brass.

A mezuzah design integrating delicacy and roughness – black granite stone, infused with spots of color, smoothed and polished to miniature proportions, in a design full of contrasts between its small size and delicately smoothed rock and its regal colors which infer roughness and strength.

The mezuzah clasps are constructed from one long brass wire (an alloy of copper and zinc), which embraces the stone from all sides.  The letter shin that is adhered to the stone is also of brass.

Bottom mezuzah:  A beautiful, intricate mezuzah integrating several materials:  black granite, brass and glass.

This mezuzah also expressed the contrasts between strong granite rock and the delicate, smooth design.  The rock is gently polished, with a hand carved open space in its center for the mezuzah scroll.  In this space lies a transparent glass tube for the scroll, in a design that protects the scroll and also enables it to be seen.

The mezuzah clasps are of brass, as is the letter shin at the top of the carved stone.

An interesting and original design that is both intense and delicate.
