anirudh@sourcesquid.coWhat is pietra dura?
Pietra dura is marble inlay with cut semi-precious stones, a craft associated with Agra and the Taj Mahal.
Is soapstone the same as marble?
No. Soapstone is softer and easier to carve, so it suits small décor items at lower cost.
How is stone décor packed?
In foam-lined cartons inside ISPM 15 wooden crates to prevent chipping.
