-
COLORS
The artisans at Unique Stone hand apply each layer of finish based on exacting formulas. But because cast stone contains natural materials which can react differently based on various conditions beyond our control, color tones and accents will vary from piece to piece, but are expected to fall within a certain range. Therefore, Unique Stone cannot accept any returns or offer discount(s) on product that does not color match product(s) from a previous order. For color consistency, it is strongly recommended that any products that need to match be shipped on the same order.
