| Granite |
Igneous:
Granite is made of quartz crystals and feldspar which contain
silica. Granite is very hard stone and difficult to carve.
It is not very suitable for fine detailed carving. Granite
comes in a wide variety of colors, and the crystal size
can vary from large and coarse to very fine and dense. Granite
takes a high polish and holds up very well outdoors.

Metamorphic:
Marble has been the most preferred stone for carving since
the time of the Greeks. Marble is moderately hard to work.
It will hold very fine detail. When brought to a high polish,
it's crystalline structure sparkles. It does not hold up
well outdoors and acid rain can begin deteriorating the
surface in a few years. |

| Limestone |
Sedimentary:
Limestone is composed primarily of the mineral calcite,
or calcium carbonate. It is easy to carve and will take
small detail work, but is also strong enough to support
undercutting. While it does not have the innate beauty of
other stones, a wide variety of textures can be created
that can really bring the stone to life. Limestone can be
polished, but the polish will not last outdoors. Limestone
seems to survive acid rain better than marble, so is a good
choice for outdoor sculpture. |
