A statue of a Whale tail pointing upwards carved from Soapstone.
Soapstone is typically grey, bluish, green, or brown in colour, often variegated. Its name is derived from its "soapy" feel and softness. Soapstone is easy to carve, it is also durable, heat-resistant and has a high heat storage capacity. It has therefore been used for cooking and heating equipment for thousands of years.
