{"product_id":"nathaniel-sophia-hawthorne","title":"Nathaniel \u0026 Sophia Hawthorne","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome love stories are written in ink. Others are shaped by tide and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathaniel Hawthorne called his wife Sophia his \"Dove.\" She called him her genius. Through years of quiet New England life — in Salem, in Concord, in the gentle rhythms of a shared home — they built something rare: a love that was also a creative partnership, tender and enduring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese two Plymouth beach stones carry that same quiet beauty. Warm amber and burnt sienna meet cool blue-grey and silver, iron-kissed edges and deep hornblende bands, epidote green and feldspar cream — a palette as layered and alive as the story they honor. Substantial in the hand, smooth from the shore, and unmistakably a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGathered from the shores of Plymouth, Massachusetts — America's Hometown — and nestled together in a drawstring pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA penny is included in photos for scale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout These Stones\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are natural Plymouth beach stones. Both appear to be metamorphic in character — one showing iron oxide staining with possible epidote and chlorite, the other a hornblende-bearing gneiss or schist with feldspar banding. Stone identification is offered as a best estimate; natural variation is part of what makes each piece one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New England Nova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67030244884525,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/4276\/9453\/files\/haw.png?v=1784063177","url":"https:\/\/newenglandnova.shop\/products\/nathaniel-sophia-hawthorne","provider":"New England Nova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
