It is unfortunately. My understanding is that it’s a stone that forms in veins near other stones and they only really dig it up incidentally while quarrying for other stuff. It does come up, but not as often as I’d like. Also to be honest I don’t love carving it. It’s fragile and requires only using angle grinders or saws. No hammer and chisel. And sanding it is rough too because of how translucent it is. It’s definitely beautiful, but I prefer working in marble…
