They sound kind of glass/stone like when you tap them together and a hot pin doesn't melt into it (testing for resin) they don't seem to be hard stone though due to when I scratch the bottom with a knife it creates a white dust. They seem to have a coat of dark green which rubs off slightly then they are lighter green underneath. Would just like to know what they are made of and if they are valuable. Also they look like they are hand carved as both aren't exactly identical as seen in the pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
