Description
Etched artwork on this granite paperweight fills with a color, so a logo can read in gold against polished black stone instead of disappearing into a gray scratch. Managers give it as a desk award when a clear crystal piece would look like every other award already in the room.
On a desk, black granite reads as a serious piece rather than a novelty, which is why service-anniversary programs and top-account gifts keep coming back to stone. The etch cuts into the surface and the colorfill sits inside the cut, so your logo will not rub off the way a printed mark does under a laptop or a keyboard. Bold shapes and thick lettering carry best, since fine hairlines get lost in the natural speckle of the granite. Nonprofits use the same piece for donor plaques on a shelf, and manufacturers hand it out for safety milestones, where a stone award survives a plant floor office better than glass. Client appreciation gifts land the same way, since a stone piece stays out on the desk.
Order it beside our black granite award in a clipped-corner aluminum frame when one program needs both a desk piece and a wall piece, since both use the same polished black granite. Both take the same deep etch, so the artwork file works for either. If you would rather have a clear piece that light passes through, the wider custom paperweight range holds crystal ovals, stars, and house shapes as well.
Send the wording and logo you want cut into the stone, and you will get a layout proof back showing the colorfill before you pay. Production runs five working days once you approve it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a granite paperweight and who uses one?
A granite paperweight is a slab of polished stone cut to a rectangle and deep etched with a logo or message. Companies use it for service anniversaries, top-account gifts, donor recognition, and safety milestones. The etched mark is cut into the stone rather than printed on top of it.
What size is the black granite paperweight and how thick is it?
The black granite paperweight measures 4 inches by 3 inches and 1 inch thick. The etching area on the front measures 2 by 3 inches. The rectangle stands portrait, so a logo above two or three lines of text fits the space comfortably.
How do you decorate a granite paperweight, and what artwork works best?
Deep etching cuts the artwork into the front face of the granite paperweight, and one colorfill is included. Bold shapes and thick lettering read best because the stone has a natural speckle that swallows hairlines. Send vector art and keep any text large enough to survive the fill step.
How does a stone award compare with a clear crystal award?
A granite paperweight reads heavier and more formal than clear crystal, and the etched mark sits on the front face rather than showing through the body. Granite hides fingerprints that show on polished crystal. Crystal catches light, while granite gives a dark background that makes a filled logo stand out.
Which programs suit a black granite desk award as a gift?
Black granite paperweights suit service anniversaries, sales achievement, retirement gifts, donor recognition, and safety milestones. Manufacturing, construction, finance, and nonprofit organizations order them most. The dark stone matches most office furniture, so recipients tend to keep it out on the desk.
How long does production take and what is the minimum order quantity?
Production on the granite paperweight runs five working days from artwork approval, and the minimum order is one piece. Transit time is added on top of that window. Tell us your event date and we will confirm whether the standard schedule reaches you.
How should you clean a granite paperweight without damaging the colorfill?
Wipe a granite paperweight with a damp soft cloth and dry it right away. Skip acidic cleaners, bleach, and abrasive pads, which dull polished stone and can lift the colorfill out of the etch. A cleaner rated for stone or glass handles heavier marks.
What affects the price of a custom granite paperweight?
Price on a custom granite paperweight depends on quantity, the size of the etched area, and artwork setup. Larger runs bring the per-piece cost down. Send your quantity and art file to get an exact figure back.
