Kisii Soapstone Mushroom | Hand-Carved Kenyan Stone | Hot Pink Etched Cap & Speckled Stem | 3.75" Tall | Whimsical Decor

The only mushroom you'll ever find that's safe to pick, guaranteed not to wilt, and heavy enough to double as a paperweight.

This is a hand-carved Kisii soapstone mushroom, made from soft stone mined in the Kisii region of western Kenya. The cap is dyed a bright hot pink and etched by hand with lines radiating from the center, so the pale stone shows through like little gills. The tapered stem is sponged with blue, pink and yellow speckles, finished with a pink band at the base. Kisii carvers sand and wax each piece by hand, which gives it that soft, satiny feel.

It's solid stone with real weight to it, so it sits sturdy on a shelf, desk or windowsill. Perfect for mushroom collectors, cottagecore and fairy garden fans, or anyone whose shelf needs a little whimsy.

• Material: Kisii soapstone, hand-carved, dyed and etched
• Origin: Kenya
• Size: about 3 3/4" tall (please see ruler photo)
• Weight: solid stone, about 1 lb
• Age: pre-owned; age unknown, so we're not calling it vintage

Condition

Pre-owned and in nice condition with no chips or cracks seen. The base has some handwritten marks and a bit of faint sticker residue we didn't scrub further, to protect the dyed finish (see photo of the bottom). The cap has a few tiny light spots and natural speckles in the stone. As with everything in the shop, it's a used piece and may show light signs of handling.

Only one available. Once it's picked, it's gone.
