Here is a quote from the newspaper article about the sculptor "The lightweight rock he is using actually is lava. Its porosity makes it easy to work. Saws, axes and knives replace the traditional hammer and chisel. Kroll expects to work a large pile of the stones into figures in about two weeks." You may be able to find some answers by asking the building owners or some folks in the area that may remember when and why these came to be in front of the buildings. Any way we can get some closeups as well? Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your find.
