Fine, micro‑cracks are basically the personality of a statue. If you’re all about stability, use a low‑viscosity marble cement, fill the chips, let it set, then polish a bit so the seam is invisible. That’s the “tune‑up” route. If you want the original soul intact, just clean the cracks with a soft brush, maybe a drop of clear resin to keep the water out, and leave the rest untouched. Don’t obsess over perfect color matching – the character shows in the flaws. In short, fix enough to stop it from falling apart, but don’t erase the story the cracks are telling.

Right, the story’s in the lines. Just spot‑treat the weak spots—maybe a tiny drop of high‑strength epoxy at the edges where the stone actually shrinks—then seal the whole thing with a clear resin coat. That keeps the cracks for the narrative but stops the statue from turning into a piece of pottery. No over‑polishing, just enough to keep it from cracking again.
