For the price, I was expecting a faux marble finish on plastic, so when I got it, I wondered why this item seemed so heavy. I was not expecting anything with this much weight. But it was heavy. That’s because it’s a rock – a rock in the shape of a pen holder, that is. I have to admit, this pen holder did not disappoint. I took it to my work office to decorate it.I liked it so much, I ordered another for a friend and one for my home office. When my friend opened up the package, she thought it was made from granite. I have to admit, hers did resemble granite more than the conventional marble look, and the second one I ordered for my home office had a look between granite and marble (see attached pics). It wasn’t that picturesque marble that one is accustomed to seeing. Regardless, it’s still beautiful. I just want you to know that you may not get exactly what you imagine.My initial review was going to be five stars because my first item was absolutely amazing. The second and third items did not have that classic marble look with the expected fine veins running through it (the first one did). But as I said, it still looks nice, so I’m giving it a solid four stars, just because some of the actual product doesn’t look like what is pictured.
