How repairable is a soapstone sculpture?

I work for a moving and storage company and recently one of our packers had an accident with a whale tail soapstone sculpture. When she laid it on the paper the tip of one of the tails broke off. Is soapstone really that breakable? Inside was not all crystal blue like the rest of it, one part was brown and looked as though it was glued together before. Anyhow, these people are telling me that it is not repairable and will continue to deteriorate because of the damage. Can anybody give me any insight?
