<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 8357111, member: 5833"]Sounds just like jet. The first time I acquired a cameo in a jet frame I wrote the seller to ask if they were sure about their description. I had experience with jet used for carving by the Zuni but this was different. I really thought it was plastic based on feel & sound made when tapped.
