Tumble-polished in swift streams, buffed and dimpled by time, these stone cairns tell the story of their past in every fissure and swirl. The rounded sculptural beauty of these piled stones delights the eye as they rise up from a window sill, desk top or table. Since we first roamed the planet, cairns-shaped rock piles-have been used as markers, whether on a mountain summit, path, or commemorative site. Also evoking safety, hope and friendship they were considered imbued with spirit. Cairns require assembly.
