A wet stone to keep the outworld humid...

So in a previous post I made a gypsum block witch was then meant to become a nest, but since then I found a big piece of YTong that will be used for nest building...

To repurpose this gypsum block I carved it down to some cool shapes so it can function as decorational piece in the outworld and be a humidifier stone at the same time :)

I will just drip water over this and it will soak in and disperse evenly into the environment.
