Alabaster

Alabaster is a kind of stone that people use to make sculptures and art. It is a little bit like marble, but it is softer and easier to carve. Alabaster comes in many different colors, like white, pink, and even green. When people make things out of alabaster, they can make them look shiny by polishing the surface. Alabaster is really pretty and people have been using it to make art for many thousands of years.
