How rough soapstone is sold
By weight. Pieces are picked at random, so sizes and colours vary - dry soapstone looks alike across shades and the true colour only shows once it's wet or finished. Tell us the total weight and rough sizes you'd like and we'll put the order together. Bulk and container orders are welcome.
Who buys it
Who buys it: Indigenous carvers and artists (including many from Six Nations of the Grand River), art teachers and school boards, summer camps and rec programs, carving instructors and studios, museums, galleries and gift shops, and hobby carvers across Canada and the USA.
Carving tips
- Carve over a damp towel and wet the stone often - it keeps dust down and shows you the colour.
- Wear a simple dust mask if you sand dry.
- Sand through the grits: 100 to shape, 360 and 600 to smooth, 2000 to polish.
- Finish with mineral oil or paste wax and buff with a soft cloth.
