When it comes to pure white stone for inlays and carving projects, this is the only one that exists. Boring for beginners because it doesn't make an interesting cabochon. But when you need to inlay teeth or add whites of eyes, etc. and use a material that is hard enough to match the rest of your composition- this is it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two main sites it is mined from. Eastern Europe and Tanzania. The stone from Eastern Europe is often porous and challenging to work. The Tanzania (this) version is strong and consistent. It will feel like you are working an agate. If you're into inlay, this is a have to have stone in your stock pile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: SiO2 n H2O\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lapidary Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Opaque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions\u003c\/strong\u003e: almost non\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 1 pc\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 5cm x 5cm x 2.3cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 pc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 65g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRough is rough.
