Creativity in stone

This piece I created with a stone called african wonderstone. This type comes in brown or black/grey, very hard to work with, a little harder than alabaster. I was still able to use my hand tools such as rasps and files, mostly wood carving ones. The stone is very dense, heavy, and cool to the touch. Very easy to polish using 10o grit to 1500 grit wet and dry sandpaper. finishing with a coat of a polymer based car wax paste. I enjoyed working with this stone but very hard to come by from suppliers, probably because of the cost to bring it in. Hopefully one of these days I will be able to get my hands on more of this kind of stone without costing me an arm and leg to get it.
