Soapstone (steatite) is a soft natural stone. The color of the stones varies between white, gray, yellow, and reddish tones, sometimes streaked with beautiful veining. The raw material is extracted locally in quarries. The carvers are independent artists who each specialize in a particular product range. Tools used include chisels, knives, scrapers, and sandpaper. The finishing, washing, waxing, and polishing are usually carried out by women in the family. Being 100% handmade, variations in shape and color are inevitable.\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.\u003cspan\u003e 5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\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. 40 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"polanski speckstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56406758031745,"sku":"TA077","price":4.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/6332\/3777\/files\/Image_yetc5byetc5byetc.jpg?v=1792917427","url":"https:\/\/pflanzenwelten-heinek.de\/en\/products\/kleiner-elefant-russel-unten-speckstein","provider":"Pflanzenwelten Andre Heinek ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
