Unique stone statue of a seated thinker made of soapstone. The colours this stone offers are beautiful, light green, dark green and brown are all colours that come back in this stone statue from Africa. In addition, it looks as if the stone consists of several layers, very special! You will receive this unique stone when you order. Each statue is a pearl of quality, because it is handmade from a piece of natural stone, see our blog about the whole story behind the making process of the soapstone family statues.
 

The sculptures are made of natural stone with the greatest possible care.
The smaller sculptures are made of a soapstone, this stone is not suitable for outdoor use. The larger sculptures are mostly made of opalstone, springstone, cobaltstone or fruit serpentine. This is a harder stone and suitable to stand outside.
In the stone irregularities can occur such as veins and lines. These irregularities give the sculpture extra charm and a unique character. 

The stone is worked in various stages with a hammer and chisel, grater and file. Once the coarse shape has been created, the stone is polished with waterproof sandpaper until it is completely smooth. After polishing, the sculpture is heated and a wax layer is applied. When the sculpture has cooled down again it is polished and gets its full colour and shine. The sculpture is ready.
