One of a set of substantial awards in aquashaped sandstone and starfire glass. Sandstone, as a major structural element, reinforces the impression of weight, solidity and permanence in an award. The Challenge features a central starfire rectangle, with etched climber artwork and polished edges, and sandstone "cliffs" on front and back. This piece works well as a recognition item acknowledging great persistence, supreme effort or success in difficult circumstances. Due to the nature of sandstone, the exact thickness, color and surface texture may vary from piece to piece. Etching or colorfill on sandstone is not available.
