India Soapstone Gray

Mic***Wrote:

Hi we are looking at polished soapstone slabs cut to size (25cm x 40cm, 3cm thick) to be used as grilling surfaces (meat, fish, vegetables etc.) over open fire. These slabs must resist exposure to direct heat and be harmless to food consumer. Is your stone adequate? Can you supply? Thanks and regards,

Hi, I'm a sculptor located in Germany and I'd like to explore the feasibility of directly importing soft stones, such as soapstone, serpentine, and marble in lumps or blocks suited for carving and sculpting. So you would be dealing with a mere end user. However, if we could arrange a viable method of getting the stone to my location, I'm sure that I could find other sculptors who would be glad to obtain raw material from me. If we could work out some kind of mutually satisfying arrangement, I might be able to expand the quantities so as to make it worth your while. From your description I take it that you have experience in exporting stone, perhaps even to Germany. A hurdle, it seems to me, may be the cost of shipment and local customs duty. I'd leave package sizes and weights up to you. I realize that my proposition is probably very small fry to you. So if the scope is insufficient for your company, you could perhaps put me in touch with someone who may be willing to deal directly with a German end user. Please excuse the length of this mail. Perhaps you could give me some figures and prices and let me know your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards from snow-bound Germany,
