PROCESSING
When working by hand, we recommend only rasping and sanding, not chiselling. When rasping, follow the fibre direction if possible. For machining, we recommend a FOREDOM hang-up motor with flex shaft, handpiece and suitable cutters, for example, and a FOREDOM angle grinder for sanding. However, other milling and grinding systems can also be used.
During all work, store the stone in such a way that it is subjected to as little vibration as possible to prevent larger pieces from breaking off in the direction of the fibres. After rasping, the stone can be sanded and polished; when sanding by hand up to 800 grit, treat with Lithofin polishing cream afterwards. It's worth it!
FURTHER INFORMATION
Selenite is a crystalline form of the mineral gypsum, similar to alabaster.
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.
