Cutting
Stone
is originally formed in boulders
ranging in weight between 20 and several hundred pounds.
Normally you won't find small single stones under 10-15 lbs.; therefore smaller sizes are cut from
larger boulders. Boulders are first cut into slabs
and then cut into smaller
pieces that can be easily handled. The cut pieces are usually flat on at least two and
even three sides and will always be irregular in shape.
Stone Hardness
Stone for
carving is gauged in four hardnesses: soft, medium, hard and
extreme. Soapstone (talc block) is considered the softest.
Alabaster (a gypsum base stone) is medium hard along with
limestone and sandstone. Marble is considered hard; granite
is the extreme. |
