Many rocks, one term
Natural stone is a collective name for many rocks, from sandstone and limestone to slate, and each tells a different story of the earth. Anyone browsing natural stone sculptures for sale will find a wide range of colors, hardnesses and surfaces.
Soft sandstone can almost be whittled and shows warm, grainy surfaces. Limestone is denser and takes fine detail. Slate splits into plates, travertine shows pores, and hard rock such as basalt looks dark and calm. The choice of stone decides effect, weight and care. Sculptures in natural stone are often shaped by craft, since each rock calls for different tools.

Choosing and setting up
To narrow things down, use statues, stone, abstract forms and expressive works. Price bands such as 1,000 to 2,000 euro or 2,000 to 5,000 euro help as well. Ask about the type of rock: soft varieties belong in dry places, hard ones tolerate frost. Each type of rock behaves differently in wind and weather, and the description should say so.
