Pat,

    You might also consider using a white wood.  I think it's either
    mistletoe or wisteria that makes a beautiful ivory-like color when
    it's been properly cured (check with an artisan woodworking group to
    be sure which it is, though).  There was a local wood artist who made
    some phenomenally beautiful pieces in startling colors and he only
    uses the natural color of the wood in his work.  These pieces looked
    like the finest ivory -- white, not antiqued. 

    You can also get some very nice whites in the agates, of course, if
    she wants to go in that direction.  And I've seen some lovely "cats
    eye" white stones -- I believe they might have been agate, as it was
    before the new sythetic cats eyes became popular. 

    Just a few ideas for you... best of luck! 

Karen Goeller
