Carving

About Carving

Hand-carved minerals represent the intersection of lapidary craftsmanship and artistic vision, transforming natural stone into finished sculptural pieces. Mineral carvings showcase both the aesthetic qualities of raw material—color, translucency, texture—and the technical skill of experienced stone workers. Carved pieces range from delicate figurative sculptures to abstract geometric forms, each representing unique artistic interpretation.Mineral carving occurs worldwide at lapidary centers using diverse materials selected for color, hardness, and artistic potential. Artisans employ traditional hand techniques alongside contemporary methods.
