Description

Locality: Brazil

Description: Brazilian soapstone carving blocks, each about 2 kg (roughly 30cm x 20cm x 20cm). The stone is opaque, rough-cut and graded for lapidary use, with a range of greens and greys.

Soapstone is made mostly of talc, so it is soft, smooth and easy to carve. These full-size blocks suit larger sculptures and carving projects. For smaller pieces, see our Soapstone Off Cuts.

Chemical Composition: Talc-rich rock, Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 (talc)

Grade: Lapidary Grade
Appearance: Opaque
Inclusions: 

Approximate Size of 1 pc: 30cm x 20cm x 20cm
Approximate Weight of 1 pc: 2kg

Rough is rough. We do our best to grade and describe pieces in the lot, but ultimately, they all differ.
