    hello all!
    I found a pretty. Just not sure what the material would be. It’s medium weight, I don’t see seams and I don’t smell anything but my smeller is not the best It’s approx 15” long and the closure is a screw in. It is strung on string of some kind My friend thought galalith but I don’t think I’ve ever had any and would t know. Would this be a mourning piece? I don’t think so but WTHDIK?!?

    Opinions please!

    Ok, I was not sure. I’ll try to test it. I know Black can be the hardest to test
