This stone variety is the " alabaster " of the ancient Egyptians and Bible and is often termed " Oriental alabaster ", since the early examples came from the Far East.
When the Venetians raided Pula in 1605, they removed many treasures from this chapel to Venice, including the four columns of oriental alabaster that stand behind the high altar of St Mark's Basilica.
The calcite variety is also known as "'onyx-marble "', "'Egyptian alabaster "', or "'Oriental alabaster "'and is geologically described as either a compact banded travertine or " a stalagmitic limestone marked with patterns of swirling bands of cream and brown " . " Onyx-marble " must be understood as a traditional, but geologically inaccurate term, since both onyx and marble have geological definitions distinct from even the widest one applicable for alabaster.
