Alabaster in history

The history of alabaster dates back millions of years, forming from gypsum crystals in the Oligocene epoch. Used since ancient times in civilizations such as Egypt and Greece, this material has been key in sculpture and architecture due to its malleability and translucency. The Ebro Valley in Spain is the world’s main source of alabaster, a testament to its geological legacy. Its use has persisted to this day, being appreciated in both classical art and modern design for its unique beauty and ability to interact with light.
