Guernsey 2008 300th anniversary St. Paul's Cathedral London - Granite dust on stamp tab  

Issue date 31 October 2008

The stamp set from Guernsey celebrates the 300th anniversary of the topping of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Guernsey provided granite for the steps of the cathedral. 

Guernsey Post reported that according to some sources, the original granite came from the tiny island of Crevichon. More recently, granite from Les Vardes Quarry in St. Sampson has been used for maintenance of the cathedral. Granite from this quarry was ground into powder for inclusion on the stamps.

This set of stamps from Guernsey has little pieces of granite affixed to the bottom tabs.

Guernsey 1995 Europa Peace and Freedom Autostereogram 3-D Stamps 

Issue date 09 May 1995

Stereograms are 3D images hidden within another picture. In order to view the 3-D images, simply stare at the picture until the image starts to take shape. 

Guernsey Post issued a set of 2 stamps featuring design of a dove, a universal symbol of peace, one with a green background 25p stamp, and a blue background 30p stamp.

Designed by Keith Bassford, the Autostereogram (a hidden image seen by crossing one's eyes in the correct way) was created by David Burder (UK) and Bob Mannle (USA).

The hidden images are large versions of the doves as featured on the patterns i.e. on the 25p stamp the bird is standing, face to your right, while on the 30p stamp it is flying to the left.
