Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Wed, Jul 11, 2018 This is soapstone, a very soft and easy to carve stone. |

Posted By: andrew Wed, Jul 11, 2018 This carving is a hard stone for sure. I don't think it is soapstone. But thanks for your comment. Is there a scratch test I can do or something to see if it is soapstone. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Thu, Jul 12, 2018 scratch test: With a strong needle, make a 2-3 mm scratch, using enough pressure to make that tiny scratch, If it is very easy to scratch, then it is a soft stone... Otherwise, just tell us if that |
