repairing heat damage to alabaster lamp?
we have some goblet shaped lamps made out of an orangey coloured alabaster. Because I put too high a wattage of lightbulb in it, the colour looks like it's bleached out when it's not on, but then when it's illuminated, that patch looks almost black.
Is there any way of repairing this?
Alabaster is a natural material, and I suspect that the chemical structure has been altered by the application of heat.
I very much doubt if anything can be done to repair it.
