A white mezuzah blends into a light doorframe or stands quietly against a dark one. These cases are carved from naturally pale Jerusalem stone, so the white is in the material itself, not a paint that will chip. Choose between the chalky natural white of Kotel stone, the fine open grain of white travertine, a smooth cream stone with a gold Shin, or a white case with a Shin built up from the surface. Each is made by hand in Jerusalem, in five chamber sizes, and mounts with the adhesive supplied. A scroll (klaf) can be added on the product page.

Three white stones, compared
Kotel white is chalky and matte, the stone of the city's old walls. White travertine has a fine, open grain that catches light. Cream stone is smooth and warm, and pairs well with a gold Shin. All three are Jerusalem stone, pale by nature.
On a light or a dark door
On a white or pale wood frame a white case blends in and reads as part of the door. On a dark door it stands out as a clear, quiet accent. Either way, the color is the stone itself and will not chip like paint.
White Mezuzah — Questions & Answers
Will a white stone case yellow or stain outdoors?
Jerusalem stone weathers slowly and evenly; wipe it with a damp cloth if dust settles. No coating is needed.
Is the white color painted?
No. These cases are cut from naturally pale stone.
Which white is the brightest?
Kotel white. Travertine and cream are slightly warmer.
