A word of caution. Soapstone and other soft turnable rocks can have asbestos. All of it is dusty and powdery. If you aren't using everything in the book for protection, you have only yourself to blame!

Here's a previous post, but do a search for stone and/or alabaster and you will get many links to go to, HTH.
