Soapstone (steatite) is a soft natural stone. The color of the stones varies between white, gray, yellow, and reddish tones, sometimes streaked with beautiful graining. The raw material is extracted locally in quarries. The carvers are independent artists who each specialize in one product area. Tools used include chisels, knives, scrapers, and sandpaper. The fine finishing, washing of the stone, waxing, and polishing are usually carried out by women from the family. The 100% handmade nature results in differences in shape and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f_t_base f_t_color whitespace-pre-wrap f_t_paragraphSansRegular\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"f_t_base f_t_color f_t_paragraphSansMedium\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"f_t_base f_t_color f_t_paragraphSansRegular\"\u003e Approx. 8 x 5 x 3.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"f_t_base f_t_color whitespace-pre-wrap f_t_paragraphSansRegular\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"f_t_base f_t_color f_t_paragraphSansMedium\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"f_t_base f_t_color f_t_paragraphSansRegular\"\u003e Approx. 250 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"polanski speckstein","offers":[{"title":"Blau","offer_id":56405489615233,"sku":"SD086","price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grün","offer_id":56405489648001,"sku":"SD087","price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/6332\/3777\/files\/31f46e278c34a3579637a2cd6c9054c0aab74186a4c3805063311631267950f1.jpg?v=1792085942","url":"https:\/\/pflanzenwelten-heinek.de\/en\/products\/eckige-dose-schildkrote-speckstein","provider":"Pflanzenwelten Andre Heinek ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
