# not man-cement this time no
the detail is a little bit of a cheat, it comes ready layered, you just have to neaten them up a bit.

# I've got some laser-etchd resin castings on my desk.
These look spookily similar with the stepped texture. Though the resolution is either quite poor or you have giant hands.

# no
but i recognised the texture
EDIT: it's very nice, looks almost like a very posh white chocolate walnut whip.

# exactly what I thought
amazing really how one can recognise something carved and as obscure and blandly white as cuttlefish bone from a photo.

# *bokes remembering my dim sum experience*
actually, cuttlefish was the nicest of the lot.

# it's either the stuff that birds file their beaks on
or the stuff that gets washed up on the beach

i'll go for the latter, it's easier to carve.

# i do not know.
they're both cuttlefish though, maybe it's just that the ones that watch up and been foating about in the sea for ages.

# Try selenite
It's a sort of gypsum, which is very low on the Mohs scale (ie soft).
Looks like iridescent soap.

(wow, googing for a crystal brings up a hell of a lot of utter balls)

# NOOOOO
You can't grow crystals! They have to form in the furnaces of
volcanic rock over thousands of years. You have to buy them
from ropey hippy shops.
