<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9612300, member: 5833"]Agree with what has already been said. I'm confident Hera is shell. Doubt it would have been difficult when these were cut to find a 2cm segment of shell that was flat, since I imagine they had much larger helmet shells to choose from than are readily available today. I have shell pieces of about 3.5cm that are so flat they look like hardstone (or artificial material.) This double sided piece would work well as a charm. I think it would clean up very well; I just see dirt, not ink or anything that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
