Frequently Asked Questions...
Why buy an Expressive Stone?
Color & beauty! Unlike other stone engravers I love color! Most other engravers prefer one color (black) because it's easier and faster to make. But a colorful stone gets noticed, it has more pizazz and curb appeal. It takes a lot longer to make colorful stones but it's worth the extra effort. All my stones are natural, deeply engraved, and painted in four separate layers of colorful tough paint for a weather resistant and long lasting beautiful stone.

How do I care for my stone?
There isn't alot of care needed. For longer paint life, it is recommended to bring your stone indoors in snowy or icy weather. You may clean your stone with mild soap and water. Avoid any harsh chemcial cleaners that may remove the paint or stain the stone. Avoid dropping the stone on hard surfaces as it may chip or crack.
How should I display my stone?
Flat stones are more visible when standing on edge facing forward while supported from behind. Drive a stake into the ground or use a rock to lean the stone against. Round stones can lay flat or be propped up some by mounding the earth under the stone.

Extra large stones ship Parcel Post.
