Steatite mouse

These small mice are made of steatite, also known as soapstone. A soft and ductile metamorphic rock, steatite is mainly composed of talc and often used by sculptors for its ease of carving. Historically, this material has been quarried and carved in many cultures around the world, notably by the Inuit and in certain regions of India, France, and Peru. These mice, with their fine details and raised eyes, illustrate the meticulous work valued by the natural nuances of the stone.
