Soapstone is quite heavy, it’s a perfect paperweight and display carving for desk decoration. This hand-carved turtle is sealed and buffed with nontoxic bee wax, not need much maintenance, just a little care because the stone is kind of softish and chips easily when knocked to a hard object. The more contact and touching make it stay shinier.
The large surface of the bottom is signed and dated, yet enough room for your message carving, what’s included in the listing price.
Shipping to a different address, in a gift box and wish card, is also available.
Raw carving soapstone is always on stock, if you prefer a larger or smaller size carving, your custom request is always welcome. Please contact for available stone colors.
