It&rsquo;s unique due to its softness, uniform structure and relative resistance to shattering. It allows light to penetrate several millimeters into the stone before being scattered and results in the waxy look which gives &lsquo;life&rsquo; to any sculpture. Similarly, cast iron was used to decorate royal palaces given its long life and beautiful finish.&rdquo;
