Alabaster
Alabaster, smooth and pale, carries in dreams the sense of something fine and whole — success in marriage and honest affairs. To break it, though, can mark sorrow and regret, the fragility of what we treasure. The dream often asks what we are keeping intact, and how easily it might be broken.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for alabaster, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of alabaster, foretells success in marriage and all legitimate affairs. To break an alabaster figure or vessel, denotes sorrow and repentence. For a young woman to lose an alabaster box containing incense, signifies that she will lose her lover or property through carelessness of her reputation.
