[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 3638889, member: 8267"]A quick change from "I think" to "definitely". :) There appears to be a metal ring around the edge. You say it is heavy for its size. Is there a metal backing as well? If not, you should be able to see light through a slice of horn, if that is what it is, as Any Jewelry has suggested. If there is not a metal backing, horn should not be that heavy. A better closeup of the surface pattern might help us confirm the material. I would not expect a cross section of any type of horn to show that watered effect.[/QUOTE]
