Soapstone Undercut Elephant 3 Inch

These truly intricate carvings are hand carved from a single block of soapstone and imported from India. Each elephant is carved with a smaller elephant inside, with the only access being the holes on the outside. Carvers have passed on the intricate carving skills from generation to generation. Soapstone is a dense mineral-rich talc metamorphic rock full of unique striations and colorings offering a seamless look. It has a softer consistency than other rocks, so it’s easy to mold into unique shapes. It’s a popular versatile material that’s nonporous, nonabsorbent, and resistant to high heats and staining.
