Alabaster Carving

hey! So I just carved my first alabaster project - and I dont really know how to finish it. Do you just file it or do you usually use some kind of polish?
Also, I carved these thin lines and I cant really polish them - any tipps ond making them look more clean?

Newbie question: obtaining material to train on

Im just getting started doing small (10 cm) carving/ polishing projects and i want to find a cheap source of marble or limestone or something else that is soft and can be polished. Ive been calling around to the local counterpart places, but they have only quartz remnants and I'm pretty sure that isn't what I want.

Ideas/advice?
