❓ FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is this the exact piece I’ll receive? | You’ll receive your selected size and carving as described. Each one is slightly different due to natural stone and hand-carving. |
| Can I place this outdoors? | No — it is best displayed indoors, as alabaster is sensitive to moisture and temperature changes. |
| Does the stone glow or shine? | Yes — the natural translucence of Huamanga alabaster gives it a gentle, glowing effect in light. |
| Are both sizes carved the same? | Yes — both feature the Holy Family in relief, but the 2.6" version has more defined depth and presence. |
