Variety of rock and craft
Stone is the material that lasts longest and radiates the most calm. Stone sculptures for sale at 500 to 1,000 euro suit those who look for weight, grain and coolness in one work.
For sculptures at this level, limestone, sandstone, soapstone, alabaster and smaller pieces of marble come into question, among others. Softer rock takes finer detail, while harder rock gives clearer planes. Working ranges from rough hewing to fine polish. If you look for reduced forms, take a look at abstract works.

Weight and foundation
Stone weighs a lot, even in small format. Ask about dimensions, weight and type of rock, since these decide where the piece may stand. Soft stones belong indoors, hard ones tolerate the garden. Felt under the foot protects furniture. A dry brush and a soft cloth suffice for cleaning. With natural stones in particular, look at veins and inclusions, since they reveal whether the piece looks even or animated.
