Soapstone is a soft rock that is capable of being carved and etched to great deal without fracturing.

A Symbol of both aesthetics and talent, by Vietnamese workers. Mined from the mountains of Quang Ninh, these soapstone products were designed, carved, buffed, and painted to produce a complete masterpiece. Each of these products consist of a variety of colors and shades, lines and curves, shapes and sizes which are handled with care by many different artisans. Every product takes hours to finish and ultimately become one of a kind pieces. Therefore, soapstone products are truly a one of-a-kind character of Vietnam you cannot find anywhere else.
