[QUOTE="Angelo1, post: 9896152, member: 23775"]The sculpture seems to be made of quartz because its structure is crystalline. In the Mohs scale , the hardness of quartz is 7. Eventually with a iron tool , you in a little piece on the base could try to softly put a line with the tool. If it's quartz , you don't leave a sign , while with alabaster yes. For the age , I don't know how old it could be. Anyway , just to have a comparison , here it's a similar sculpture in travertine.
