About Alabaster Please be sure to visit the galleries, all my art is original, hand crafted and one of a kind.
Alabaster is a gypsum based stone.
It is easy to carve and finishes beautifully with a matte or polished gloss finish. Some of the Alabaster has the most interesting and beautiful veining that accentuates the carvings. Some varieties of alabaster are more translucent than others. It is used by both beginner and professional carvers because of its versatility and its wide range of colors. This is a stone that you do not want to display out side.
