Hi Linda

If your trying to flatten the 6 X 12 surface you could try gluing

a sheet of sandpaper to a flat surface (grit side up) and sliding the piece
back

and forth over it (if its the 12 X 12 side, I suppose you could use more
sandpaper?).

Keep checking your work and you will see the high spot,

when the sanding marks appear uniform over the

entire area you are done.

I don't work with alabaster so I'm not able to supply you with the grit but
experiment

on something not near and dear to your heart.

I know it's soft so you could probably use a coarser grit first and work

your way to the finer grit to the desired finish.

This is an old wood working trick that I have used and found it gives me

a lot of control.

Best regards

Bob in Ohio
