<p>[QUOTE=&quot;c.free, post: 2575136, member: 14819&quot;][ATTACH=full]270530[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]270529[/ATTACH] Could be shell, probably is shell. I was Thinking the carved bead would be too thick to be shell. But I suppose there are some quite large shells in the ocean. I am pretty good at recognizing bone and ivory so I will say definitely not on those. Smaller beads could be mop. But they don’t have much luster. There is the front and Back. The whole bead is carved all around. I’m almost positive I have put one of these beads in vinegar and it was effervescent. So that would rule out stone. I was thinking it might be a tourist item. But I have no idea from where. Thanks![ATTACH=full]270528[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
