[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1377395, member: 5833"]She is indeed conch shell. The distribution of pink is highly variable. I have 1 in a ring that is almost totally white. She appears to be Vulcanite or similar. Mass produced, but I don't remember seeing this particular one before. Sort of a Mater Dolorosa type. Very pretty. Hope you can get her back to wearable.
