<p>[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 631729, member: 10171"]I'm stuck on "seashell"... those chipped edges are b/c calcium in seashells is much more of a brittle structure than in bone. Bone is a "hydoxyapatite" [god, I haven't used that word since college]. And it seems that, besides the really 'groovy' bead, and I don't mean that as a surfer dude, they seem to have a slight depression or concave surface to them, more shell like. Maybe both? Got mixed together when the surf shop dropped them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
