Hi Hap:

I have made many sculptures out of a beautiful pink soapstone that Art City
Studios in Ventura carries. There is also a purple version of the same
stone. It was my understanding that the soapstone originates from a quarry
in Texas. Warning: it is very hard soapstone, but a real pleasure to carve.
Takes an exceptional polish!

Russell at Art City may have some pieces of this soapstone, and they sell it
pretty reasonably, too if I remember correctly. You can google their name
to find their website.
