[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 659422, member: 5833"]Because it was currently inexpensive, with no bidders, I told her to go for it. It is [URL='https://cameotimes.com/index.php/reference/materials-guide?start=3']'lava[/URL]'; the question, which available photos are not quite sufficient to answer, is whether it is a single piece of hand carved lava, or what is essentially reconstituted lava, volcanic material mixed with resin and formed in a mold. Ideally, I would like to see the line where figure & ground meet. However, I'm sufficiently encouraged by the undercutting Jivvy noted, as well as by the evenness of the color (lava can be, & often is, dyed) to give it a thumbs up. Even if molded, it was done in a very good mold & would be a pretty thing to have around. If price is not much higher. :)[/QUOTE]
