[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9879357, member: 5833"]This would explain why all the photos are too out of focus really to render a solid opinion. In the one that's best I see some fine parallel lines in the largest bead & some of the others. Ivory that has been cut lengthwise can show such lines. I do not see the crosshatching pattern of Schreger lines anywhere, so maybe another member will point them out to me. I've had cataract surgery on both eyes but still readily miss things in photos. If they are ivory, it's sad to think that someone used it to whittle these crude beads. I have another suggestion for the material: helmet shell. Scroll down to the middle of this page & see what you think: [URL]https://cameotimes.com/index.php/reference/materials-guide?start=1[/URL] You're going to find out what color white is again. :wideyed:[/QUOTE]
