ALABASTER- Alabaster is the best all around sculpture stone available. Alabaster comes in many colors and translucencies. Alabaster sculpture should not be left outside, as it will deteriorate over time. It's hard to scratch Alabaster with a fingernail. The edge of a penny will generally scratch Alabaster. Alabaster holds detail well since it is tight enough. You can quickly test the tightness of alabaster by tapping your ring, a chisel or a hammer lightly against the stone. This should generallyproduce a nice ring or solid sound, indicating the lack of major cracks. Now not all good Alabaster wil have a ring to it when tapped. The tools used on Alabaster can also be used on the softer Soapstone. Sanding up to 1200 grit is usually enough for polished areas. Apply a sealer and polish or buff with a buffing wheel and alabaster compound. Explore texturing along your polished areas to give interest.
