Natural marble statues are hand carved and command a very hefty price. The alabaster we use is not the calcite alabaster variety which is also known as onyx-marble, Egyptian alabaster, or Oriental alabaster. This strong material is water and weather resistant, doesn't have bubbles, will not crack, and can be washed with most cleaning agents. All sculptures are finished by hand to ensure the finest quality. Over 90% of the finished sculpture is natural crushed Greek Alabaster stone, which gives it a look and feel of solid natural marble. Because the powder is so fine the smallest details can be reproduced using this method. The mixture is then poured into a mold of the statue design.

Alabaster was very widely used for small sculpture for indoor use in the ancient world, especially in Ancient Greece, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Cast Alabaster statues are made from a material in which natural crushed Greek Alabaster stone is mixed with a small quantity of resin that works as a glue.
