Alabaster
We stock Italian Ice and Agata alabaster. These are slightly denser alabasters, easy to carve but can take very fine detail. The Ice comes in slabs or boulders and finishes like frosted glass (see Gerald Rockwell piece below) when finished but will often contain gray or red veins.

There are also a few boulders of Italian opaque alabaster (see Greg Spitzer piece above). Italian Agata is a darker, translucent brown (see Katusha Bull piece above). It is in limited supply and in irregular shapes.
All these alabasters are $2.2o/#
