What is a split-face plaque — and why is it special?
Split-face (or rock-face) granite is produced by splitting the stone along its natural crystal planes,
rather than sawing or polishing. The result is a raw, irregular surface that looks like a freshly broken
rock face in the forest. No two split plaques are identical — this uniqueness is the very point of the technique.
For pet owners who want a natural, woodland-style memorial — one that blends into a garden or a forest clearing —
the split granite plaque is the natural choice. It belongs in nature in a way polished stone never quite does.
Brown granite — warm tones for a natural memorial
Brown granite features a warm palette of beiges, tans, and rusty browns, threaded with white quartz veins
and black mica flecks. On a split surface the colour is matte and earthy — closer to how the stone looks in nature.
The engraved inscription — typically white or silver — stands out clearly against the rough brown background.

Split vs polished — which one to choose?
Simple rule: if you want the memorial to blend into nature — choose split. If you want
vivid colour and a classic elegant look — go for polished. Split granite suits woodland gardens,
forest spots, and owners who value uniqueness above all. Polished granite suits formal settings
and stones with more text or a diamond photo.
Does the rough surface make engraving harder?
No. We have been engraving on split surfaces for years. Laser and diamond-tip techniques adapt
to the texture. The result is organic and clear — most clients consider it an additional charm,
giving the inscription a hand-crafted character.
Is split granite suitable for outdoor use and frost?
Absolutely. Granite is one of the hardest natural stones, fully resistant to rain, frost, UV and moisture.
The split surface is no more porous than a polished one. Expect decades of outdoor durability without damage.
How long does production take?
10–14 business days from your approval of the inscription design. We send a digital proof first —
once you confirm, we begin engraving. Dispatch usually follows 2–3 days after completion.
