Andrew Morgan 0 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I have a carved 1960s sculpture made of a single piece of rock. I have HD photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/MMgsWejCQMNDZfm3A. What I need to know is -- you guessed it -- what rock is it made of? Being completely ignorant (or is it igneous) of geology, my best guess is feldspar. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d_day 349 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I can’t say for sure, but I’d guess it’s marble. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stillweaver hillbelli 323 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Drop of vinegar under the base would nail it. Neutralize it with baking soda after it fizzes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Morgan 0 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Yes, marble sounds like the most probable. The surface of the rock has kind of a waxy texture. I first thought maybe soapstone, but there are too many veins for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
