Michelangelo would have loved it! A professional stone carver's set with a complete line of tools needed to accomplish any task in almost any type of stone. Forged of the finest steel and tempered to last and last. Fifteen tools and a 2 1/2 lb. hammer.

Alabaster is easy to carve, can be rubbed to a matte or gloss finish, and contains no asbestos. It is a very pure stone with rarely an imperfection. Alabaster is of medium hardness, is translucent, and has clear white color with very light veining. Light will filter softly through thin areas of this stone. These rough-cut stones are hand picked and imported from Italy. Pieces are randomly sized so listed sizes are approximate.

2 1/2 pound blocks of Roma Italian Plastalina, now being made in the U.S.A. in strict accordance with the original formula from Italy, is the favorite clay of schools and professional sculptors the world over. It will never harden, crust or deteriorate. Its uniform plasticity improves through use with age. Its smooth, even texture and consistency respond perfectly to every touch of the sculptor’s tool today and for years to come.

- #2 Medium, gray - for all average size work requiring a slightly firm consistency
- #3 Medium Firm, green-gray - for smaller models
- #4 Very Hard, white - for small figures, medallions and reliefs
