Mezuzah Crafted of Black Granite, Glass and Brass

A mezuzah of very unique design, integrating 3 contrasting materials:  black granite rock, transparent glass and brass (an alloy of copper and zinc).

The body of the mezuzah is crafted of black granite that has been roughly polished in an asymmetrical manner – the roughness of the polish expresses the strength of the stone.

At the center of the granite rock is a carved open space for the mezuzah scroll.  In this space lies a transparent glass tube for the scroll, in a design that enables visibility of the scroll and still protects it from its surroundings.

The clasps are of brass, as is the letter shin adhered to the top portion of the rock – and it, too, is asymmetrical.

A mezuzah in an unconventional design.
