SAMPLE - SNOWCAP BRINE

The Snowcap Brine colorway is available in formats for use as wall tile at 3/8".  Each order includes one 4" x 4" sample, at 3/8" thickness. It highlights the story of the coastline and kelp restoration underway with striking textures and remnants from the purple sea urchin needles peering through. 

Made with purple sea urchins harvested from Big River in Mendocino, California at The Nature Conservancy's kelp restoration site. The Snowcap Brine colorway has a medium high restoration impact:

• 3/8" thick slabs & wall tiles: 1 sqft of Urchinite  = 16 sqft of purple urchins are harvested for kelp recovery. 
• 3/4" thick slabs: 1 sqft of Urchinite = 33 sqft of purple urchins are harvested for kelp recovery.

Handcrafted in California and made with biocalcites, a natural mineral derived from purple sea urchin shells that are harvested seasonally from kelp restoration sites. Due to the seasonal nature of sea urchin harvests, availability is limited and each piece has a distinct origin from season-to-season. Color and pattern variation is inherent to the material and unique to each piece. Finished products may differ from the images shown.
