African Turquoise - the December StoneSong Shea Soap

Imagine standing at the edge of a rocky shoreline just as a winter storm gathers — the air crisp, the waves restless, the sky humming with that electric something that happens right before nature shows off.

That’s the mood of this month’s StoneSong.

African Turquoise sits on top like a tiny talisman of calm in the chaos, a stone said to guide transformation and steady your footing when life gets a little wild. Perfect companion for storm season, if you ask me.

The scent rolls in like a cold tide: bright bursts of salty ocean air, a shimmer of citrus cutting through the chill, and a soft undercurrent of driftwood and musk settling things back down. Fresh, windswept, and quietly powerful — the kind of fragrance that feels like clearing the slate.

Because the stones are small enough to embed on a soap bar, they are also a choking hazard for small children. Keep these soaps out of their reach. Remove the stones when they become loose from the bar. 

Handcrafted using the cold process technique, this bar is biodegradeable.Moisturizing shea butter gives luxurious lather to this homemade artisan soap. Packaged in a lovely box that makes it the perfect gift!

Each bar is a generous 4 ounces. The dimensions can vary slightly depending on the top of the bar, but they all should be approximately 3-3.5 inches wide by 2.5-3.5 inches tall by 1 inch deep. If you find the bar too large to handle, I recommend cutting them in half. If you let me know when you order, I'll do it for you.

Being a handmade product, no two bars look exactly the same. One batch of soap can look somewhat different from the last. If the look of the actual soap that you receive is really important to you, please ask for a photo of the current soap to make sure it meets your needs. The scents I use are tried and true and are seldom changed. If scent is your obsession (like it is mine!) it should always be the same.
