Description
The granite paperweight is a 3.5 inch square of polished black stone, 1 inch thick, so deep-etched copy stands out against the dark surface instead of disappearing the way it can in clear glass. Built for service awards, milestone gifts and client thank-yous, it holds paper down and names one person at the same time.
At a service anniversary breakfast, one colorfill turns the etched name and year into a line that reads across the table, and the speckled stone gives each piece a slightly different grain so no two awards look stamped out. Order the same square for sales club recognition, board member thanks and retirement send-offs, where a stone desk piece carries more weight in the hand than a printed certificate. Bold type and simple line art work best, because granite holds a clean edge on large shapes and loses the finest detail. The etched panel covers most of the face, so there is room to go large. At 1 inch thick, the square stands upright against a monitor or lies flat on a stack of paper.
Pair it with the larger black granite award with a full color plate when the same program needs a headline piece and a set of desk gifts, since both use the same black stone and read as one family on a shelf. If you want clear crystal or a different shape at this size, the full custom paperweight range covers the crystal and stone alternatives at similar desk sizes.
Send your wording and logo file and we will set the etch layout for approval before anything is cut, with production running 5 working days from that approval. One piece is enough to order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a granite paperweight and what is it used for?
A granite paperweight is a solid stone desk piece, etched with a name or logo, that holds loose paper in place. Companies hand them out for service anniversaries, retirement and sales recognition. The dark stone makes etched copy read clearly without any print or applied plate.
How thick is the square granite paperweight and how big is the face?
The square granite paperweight measures 3.5 inches on each side and 1 inch thick. The face is polished with a bevelled edge, and the piece can stand upright or lie flat. That thickness gives it enough mass to hold a stack of paper.
Can the etched text be filled with color on black granite?
One colorfill is included with the deep etch on this granite paperweight, so the lettering reads as color instead of bare etch. The etch area covers up to 2.5 by 2.5 inches on the front face. Large bold type and simple logos hold their edges best in stone.
Which recognition programs suit a black granite paperweight?
A black granite paperweight suits years of service awards, retirement gifts, sales club recognition and board member thanks. Law firms, banks and construction companies order stone pieces often, since the material reads as serious rather than promotional. You can order a single piece for one recipient.
What artwork works best for deep etching on stone?
Deep etching on a granite paperweight favors large bold graphics and clean type over fine detail. Thin hairlines and small text can close up when the stone is cut. Send vector artwork where possible so the etch follows clean edges.
How long does production take after artwork approval?
Production on the granite paperweight runs 5 working days from artwork approval. The minimum order is one piece, so a single award does not require a bulk run. Add shipping transit days on top of that window.
How should polished granite be cleaned to keep its finish?
Wipe the granite paperweight with a soft damp cloth and dry it right away to avoid water marks. Keep acidic cleaners, vinegar and abrasive pads off the surface, since they can dull the polish. A colorfilled inscription needs the same gentle care as the stone around it.
What affects the price of a custom granite paperweight?
Price on a custom granite paperweight depends on quantity, the size of the etch and any colorfill beyond the one included. Larger orders bring the unit cost down. Send your quantity and in hands date to get a quote.
