the detail is a little bit of a cheat, it comes ready layered, you just have to neaten them up a bit.

These look spookily similar with the stepped texture. Though the resolution is either quite poor or you have giant hands.

amazing really how one can recognise something carved and as obscure and blandly white as cuttlefish bone from a photo.

they're both cuttlefish though, maybe it's just that the ones that watch up and been foating about in the sea for ages.

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

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.
