  ALABASTER: is a sulphate substance of lime or gypsum. This mineral is mostly white, but sometimes it will have just a hint of subtle color as well. It is a very soft stone, 2 on a scale of 1-10 and is therefore used as an ornamental stone in sculpture and jewelry because it is easily carved. It is especially popular in Italy (Volterra, Tuscany), its country of origin. Alabaster is the gemstone which represents the 37th wedding anniversary.
