Hello Julianna, I think you may do better to use a rasp on this stone rather
than a chisel. The bruising is seen because the stone is translucent. Or,
keep enough distance from the finished surface to allow the bruising to be
rasped away. Hope this helps, - J. Kinder Hollis

Quoted text begins.When I use a hand-chisel on the stone, the discolouration from the
impact is much more severe than with other stone.
End of quote.
