It is not a stone but a cheap plastic marker - top plastic and even the spike is plastic - and NOT galvanized as stated!!! The name completely misguides people into thinking that the material is stone. I got the personalized message and even the words are not centered- the whole thing is hugging the left side of the marker with about an inch empty on the right side. I'm glad it was only $13 as this was a complete waste of money. Plus it took almost 2 months to deliver. Don't even bother...
