Fossil Stone Large Urn

Fossil stone carries visible shell and sediment marks from the way it formed, so the pattern across this urn is geological rather than applied. The form is a tall vase, 8 inches wide and 11 inches high, cut from solid stone with enough weight to feel settled once it is placed. The lid lifts from the top.

At 220 cubic inches it suits an adult of up to about 220 pounds, following the rule of roughly one cubic inch of capacity per pound of body weight. Stone this size is heavy, so decide where it will live before it arrives and pick a shelf that can carry it. It works equally for a home display and for burial.

• Two hundred and twenty cu in, which fits an adult up to roughly 220 lb
• Top-opening lid; no tools are needed to fill it
• Free ground shipping over $200, and this urn qualifies
