    Have a figurine of 2 bear cubs and I am trying to figure out what it might be carved from. Measures 4 1/4" tall and weighs in under 1 pound and there are no mold lines. The color in the pictures is correct it is an off white not a bright white. Some areas are smooth while at other spots there is a grainy feel to it. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

    Looks like cultured stone to me ....... basically stone dust and resin mixed. Consequently, this is likely cast rather than carved.
