Held up to a window, the thinner walls go translucent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is eight inches across, 900 grams, carved from a single block in Pakistan. It is a serious piece of stone doing an everyday job: offerings on an altar, a home for a handful of tumbled stones, or the bowl by the front door that ends the daily search for keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarved from a single block of green onyx\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 inches across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e900 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural banding — pale to deep green, translucent at the rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Pakistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreestanding, flat base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stone bowl only becomes useful once it has a fixed job.
