The composition of alabaster consists of gypsum, and its chemical composition is calcium sulphate CaSO4 2 H2O, but it is distinguished by its hardness and intense whiteness when found naturally. The ancients used it in carving statues and making tools. Decorations.
How to carve alabaster

It is extracted in large sizes and is crushed to make different shapes. All the statues in the Egyptian Museum are made of alabaster, and its types include basalt, which is a black volcanic stone, and granite.
