is alabaster tank safe?

[Doomhed]

my G/F has a HUGE chunk of alabaster from he sculpture class, and she would love an excuse to carve some kool stuff for my tank if I gave her the oppertunity. I just would like to know if anyone has used it before to good effect? this will be for a 10-30 gal freshwater.


Thanx to all!
