Koa Krystals are handcrafted, faceted blocks of Hawaiian Koa wood that display a rich array of colors and grain patterns. Each block face is precisely cut at plain, cross, and quarter-sawn angles to showcase the three-dimensional beauty of Koa wood. They are meticulously hand-sanded from 60 to 400 grit and finished with oil. These Krystals serve as unique art pieces for your home or office, or as portable talismans that embody the splendor of the Hawaiian Islands. No two Koa Krystals are alike.
All Koa Krystals come signed and numbered by the artist in a velvet bag and with a descriptive card.
