Our bildhau stones are natural stones in individual shapes & sizes, the dimensions & weights of which we cannot specify exactly in advance. You can choose your stone from different weight categories, in which the maximum price for a stone of the respective category is indicated. The stone supplied will be individually weighed and charged at the price per kilo stated here. The price charged will be lower than the maximum price of the respective category.
It is important to us that you receive exactly the material you need for your project. If you are looking for a stone with more specific dimensions (e.g. elongated, approx. 30 cm), please let us know in the message field at the end of the order process. We will endeavour to find a suitable stone for you. On request, we will send you a photo in advance for inspection. We charge a service fee of 9.50 euros for this service, which will be shown on the invoice.
Larger stones and cut-to-size pieces are usually also available for many types of stone. Please contact us by e-mail or telephone for a binding quotation.

Perfect alabaster block for carving out the geometric body of the oloid.
Block dimensions approx. 7 x 7 x 15 cm
Available in transparent, pink and caramel colours
The oloid has the proportions 2:2:3
As we arrange the edge of the mould across the diagonal of the block and not parallel to the outer edge, we can manage with the proportions 1:1:2.12. This means that less material is needed and the mould is carved out of the stone more quickly.
The oloid is a fascinating geometric body: it was discovered in 1929 by the sculptor and mechanical engineer Paul Schatz. The oloid is the only geometric body that can roll over its entire surface. The base is formed by two circles of the same size, to illustrate this: if you cut two round beer mats to the centre and then insert them vertically into each other (so that right angles are formed between the surfaces), you can approximate the shape. The oloid forms a kind of convex envelope around the two circles. For Paul Schatz, the shape resulted from the inversion of a cube. Due to its special properties, the oloid is used, for example, as part of an oloid agitator in circulation technology.
Carving a perfect oloid out of a stone is an exciting and challenging task for every sculptor!
Stone is a natural product. We endeavour to reproduce the appearance of our sculpture stones as accurately as possible in the illustrations so that the character of the stone can be recognised. Ultimately, each stone is unique and the appearance may differ from the illustration.
