<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 289368, member: 5833"]Went in the other room to tap on the lid of my Incolay jewellery box & clink it together with another piece. It is not as cool to the touch as actual stone would be & makes a much duller sound when tapped with a fingernail than stone does. I'm not going to try to scratch it. Alabaster & marble are soft stones. Suspect marble & Incolay may scratch about equally as easily. After looking at the under side of the box lid in good light, I am more convinced than ever this one is also a stone simulant. Not sure why the bottom panel would be made of something different, if only in color. Possibly for weight?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
