Alabaster is a name applied to a compact fine textured mineral called calcite, a carbonate of calcium slightly translucent and sometimes banded, also known as onyx-marble, Egyptian alabaster or Oriental alabaster.
In geological terms alabaster is a stalagmitic limestone marked with patterns of swirling bands of cream, white, beige and brown.
The calcite is a very hard stone (Mohs hardness 3).
The calcite alabaster, being a carbonate, effervesces upon being touched with hydrochloric acid.
