Stones from the quarry are transported to a sawmill where the alabaster is sawed into flat round &#8220;pancakes&#8221; of various sizes for later turning, hand-carving or more detailed sawing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brasslightgallery.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.brasslightgallery.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where does Alabaster come from?
