Fragile Rocks
Hand-blown glass & soapstone fusion. Appalachian craft, made to order.
Soapstone is a metamorphic talc and one of the softest rocks on earth. It withstands 2000°F molten glass.
There are three quarried veins along the Eastern Americas — one in Québec, Canada; another in Minas Gerais, Brazil; and one near a town called Schuyler, located in Albemarle County, Virginia, USA.
Hand harvested from the ground and brought to life with custom designs at Raging Buffalo Glass in Charlottesville — the Fragile Rocks series is an expression of Appalachian craft and culture.
