Stone and plaster
The following resources provide information on the care and storage of stone, such as argillite, and of plaster, which are both inorganic materials. Objects made of stone and plaster are often considered to have fewer problems than objects made of organic materials. However, it is still essential to properly care and store them to prevent damage so that they can be enjoyed for many years.
