Types of Natural Stone used in Carving

There are two very dissimilar materials, commonly known as Soapstone.

Talc

soapstone carver box Popularly called soapstone; is one of the softest 'minerals' on earth. Many items that we use in our day to day life, such as cosmetics, baby powder, toothpaste, and sculptures, are manufactured from this mineral.

Steatite

soapstone carver box Also called soapstone, and much like Talc, is also very much apart of our everyday lives. Being much harder than the mineral Talc, Steatite is well suited to the manufacture of custom sinks, countertops, and types of flooring.

Alabaster is a very popular statuary stone.

Italian White (Tirafsci)

soapstone carver box The stone of choice, used by ancient and modern masters alike. This purest of white Alabaster, with it's inherent beauty and purity, is superior to all others.

Italian White Translucent (Mario)
