Alabaster Care Guidelines

Custom lights made from alabaster stone are a stunning addition to any space, both for their exceptional aesthetic appeal and noteworthy durability. Our alabaster light fixtures come in various designs, some featuring LED systems for efficient and long-lasting illumination, and others boasting an internal lighting system that cannot be swapped out as easily as a bulb, but provides a more continuous and subtle source of light. It is essential to note that alabaster stone has natural dark shades and unique veining patterns, which add to its beauty and rarity. However, no two pieces are precisely alike, as each stone is a work of art. Therefore, it is almost impossible to guarantee multiple pieces to be the exact same. This attribute makes each fixture wonderfully unique and a testament to the beauty of nature's creations. When dealing with alabaster, it is important to handle it with care as it is a soft stone that can easily be scratched even by a fingernail. Always wear gloves when handling it to prevent oils from penetrating its surface, causing unsightly staining. Additionally, it is vital to avoid using solvents or liquids of any kind, including water, when cleaning alabaster due to its water-soluble nature.

As alabaster is susceptible to discoloration caused by airborne pollutants, it is necessary to prevent loose dust and debris from accumulating on its surface. This can attract moisture that can further result in staining. A soft-bristled brush can help remove accumulated dust without causing any static buildup that attracts fresh soil.

When caring for an alabaster artifact, it is always best to embrace any age-related patina that appears, rather than aggressively attempting to clean it. By being cautious and knowledgeable in the handling and maintenance of alabaster, you can ensure that your alabaster artifact looks stunning for years to come.
