The name Alabaster derives from the Ancient Egyptian lioness Goddess of protection Bast. Sacred Alabaster objects have been found in the tombs of pharaohs and ancient temples throughout history.

The stone has been mined for thousands of years in Upper Egypt in The Valley of the Kings. This is Tutankhamun’s Wishing Cup found in his tomb in Luxor amongst his treasure trove.

Craftsmen have passed down this carving art for generations as a reflection of their cultural heritage.

The stone ranges in color from white to gold and rusty red. The marbleized banding found in Alabaster is the result of thousands of years of embedded minerals from the desert. The raw stone is brought to the factory workshops carried on the backs of donkeys. This translucent stone is cut, lathed, carved and polished to create exquisite objects that allow the light to shine through.

Alabaster is a drawing stone: it has the ability to magnetize in or draw things away with intention.
