Dimensions: 72″ Dia. x 126″ H.
Material: Golden Cypress Granite (honed finish) This is our “match” to an Indiana Limestone color, but in a stone will last generations in a freeze / thaw climate (unlike limestone will won’t last even a fraction of that time.)
Pump and misc. mechanical items not included – as this will depend on how the fountain is set up.

Height of bottom basin: 57″ from pool floor, so an absolute minimum of a 16′ pool surround is recommended for this fountain, but an 18′ – 20′ is more comfortable if there are any wind gusts that would throw water around while it’s falling off the fountain tiers…. (Or, if you have a windy area or are using a spray ring, than a 22′ – 24′ diameter surround is probably the size you should use.)
We do have this matching Ornate Acanthus Leaf Pool Surround which would look great with this centerpiece as well – see what they look like together in the last photo on this page.
Photo is representative of the typical carving details on this fountain. Each hand carved fountain is a little different than the next based on the artisan that carved it.
Variations in the natural stone can exhibit unique veining and coloration. So, you can be assured that no one in the world will have one EXACTLY like yours!
Also, if this color of granite doesn’t work well with your surroundings, we also have another colors of this type of fountain here: Tall 4-Tier Fountains
Keep in mind though, that natural stone is typically a lighter color when it’s dry vs a darker/more vibrant color when it’s wet.
Check the sample page photos, noted in the material heading above, to see what this granite looks like wet vs dry.
If you like the lighter color, you can seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Impregnator Sealer, to keep it that way for several years, and also make it easier to clean if algae – dirt get on it.
Or, if you like the darker version of the color, you would seal it with a product called Miracle 511 Seal/Enhance – to keep it that color for several years (until the sealer wears off.)
