[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 123380, member: 33"]There are cameos made of lava rock, but they look different from this. I have a couple of them. They are generally in higher relief and are more in earth tones, the natural color of lava... many shades of browns and blacks. Also, the cameo on this case was more mass produced. They probably made at least hundreds, if not thousands, on which the cameo looked exactly the same. I'm not sure of the production methods of lava cameos. I'm sure they were replicated, but not sure in which quantities for each one. Each lava cameo is all one color... not two-toned like this one. Here is a search with images of some: [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=lava+cameos&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi3wL7u0Z_LAhWFkx4KHXW0C_sQsAQIXw&biw=1680&bih=953[/URL][/QUOTE]
