Small stone, large gesture
Stone in motion: even a fist-sized lump can have force when the sculptor treats it gesturally. Expressive stone sculptures for sale under 500 euro suit those who want material and sweep united in a small piece.
Gestural stone works in small format are often made of limestone, alabaster, sandstone or soapstone, because these rocks are softer. The sculptor leaves blow marks, breaks edges and sets furrows that recall drawing. So a pocket-sized stone becomes an object with stance. Every form keeps the trace of how it came to be.

Weight, stance, care
Even small stones weigh more than they look. Ask about weight and footprint and put felt underneath so wood and glass do not get scratched. Soft stones dislike water and acid, and a dry brush is enough for care. The piece sits well on windowsills, shelves and desks. A dark wooden block as a plinth anchors pale stone in the room, while a light plinth makes dark stone stand out more.
