Here you will find interesting information on calculating the weight of a sculptor's stone.
We have received a small batch of this marvellous white dolomite marble. The cut pieces are only available in limited quantities. We recommend machining for the elongated formats. If working by hand, then very carefully and the stone should be well underpinned and supported.

PROCESSING
Sivec marble can generally be worked very well by hand with forged point chisels with hammerhead (point chisels, claw chisels, flat chisels, etc.) in combination with an iron scraper; as it is somewhat harder, carbide chisels can also be used very well, as well as carbide rasps and diamond files. Marble can also be polished by hand to a high lustre. In Italian sculpture workshops, marble is mainly worked with compressed air tools, which can be used to shape it very precisely. Polishing can also be done mechanically.
Due to its structure, Sivec marble can also be installed outdoors under certain circumstances. A polish will lose its lustre in the long term due to weathering, as the marble is not acid-resistant.
FURTHER INFORMATION
Sivec marble is quarried in the village of Sivec near the town of Prilep in the Republic of North Macedonia.
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.
