[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 138368, member: 267"]People kept hair mementos of living people, too... :) It's just stunning It could still be shell cameo. Meerschaum is a hunk of minerals, carved and treated with wax and heat to stabilize, but probably not to the hardness of shell. I don't know how translucent it is, but light will pass through shell enough to make it translucent. Only you can tell![/QUOTE]
