The Medium
Alabaster, or calcium
sulfate, a crystalline form of gypsum, is one of the first three sedimentary
formations. It forms right near limestone and potash, very close to the
earth's surface. It is found in many places throughout the world: Nova
Scotia, upper New York State, Utah, Colorado, Egypt and Italy, to name
a few places.

Alabaster is available in a variety of colors - white, white and pink,
orange, green, and raspberry. Each stone has its own unique characteristics
of color and veining. The pieces are turned to a thin wall thickness,
which accentuates the natural translucency and veining of the stone,
creating a unique, beautiful piece.
