Zen mu trying to tell me they don’t sell carved walnuts. I am an amateur, but…. Really? I use files, and these look like file marks. Am I crazy? Particularly on the left one second photo on the ridge.
These are the photos from the listing, but the reviews show a variety of shapes and things, but these are just for me and my sister for fun, not to collect or anything.
I bought that necklace from an antique shop for $19! I thought it was a decent deal for the focal bead alone, which I wanted to add to my favorite bone bracelet since I’ve been looking for spiderweb turquoise for myself. But, when I repolished the stone, I found that the matrix is waxy and unstabilized. What do y’all think?!
The swirls made me suspicious, and I’m considering buying this piece.
