A Cosmetic Alabaster Bowl With Its Grinding Tool

Alabaster is a soft mineral or rock, used for carving and processed into plaster powder. Archaeologists use the term to refer to both gypsum and calcite varieties, whereas geologists define it specifically as the gypsum type. Very Rare

 In ancient times, Alabaster, imported from Egypt, was expensive and used for valuable vessels, such as those containing perfume. For example, a woman brought an alabaster flask of costly oil to Jesus and poured it on His head while He sat at the table (Matthew 26:7).
