Searching for stone for stone sculptures
Does anyone know where to purchase alabaster for stone carving. I signed up for a sculpture class and I need to purchase a rock by Wednesday. My instructor gave me an address to a place in Oakland called Renaissance Stone but I'd like to see if anyone else on the forums know of any other places besides that one.

Here's what I started with: (hammer and chisel)
20-24 hours later:
Final steps: (sanding, polishing, dremel, and more polishing)

I worked on this project at school on Wednesday nights for my sculpture class. This is my first piece in alabaster and it went fairly well. The last picture was taken at the student art gallery at Skyline C.C.
