Description from the seller

Texture and Weight: Soapstone is a soft mineral to the touch (hence the name “sabonária” or “soap”), easy to carve but very dense and heavy, which makes it ideal for bookends.
Finish: The deep black, glossy color you see in the image is obtained through an intense polishing process with sandpaper and wax, or sometimes through a natural dye bath before polishing.

Approximate dimensions (maximum): 17 × 8 × 8 cm
Trace and track shipping DELNEXT, not shipped to Islands
