Alabaster Sheet
Alabaster is the Stone of art par excellence, a much-appreciated resource for sculptors and architects who have been able to take advantage of its characteristic features, above all the ease with which it can be worked and polished and its translucency, a property as rare among rocks as effective in magnifying their natural beauty.It seems that the term also referred to objects originating from that place, which, originally, were made with this material. Eventually, the term began to refer only to the white translucent rock used in art.They are usually lightly colored, translucent, and soft stones.
