    Hi, I have a feeling that the translucent combs you are talking
    about could have been made out of horn of some kind, it was used in
    the 20s and 30s and even dyed to look like tortishell. 

    Love the rest of the tips on bleaching and cleaning of bone, I would
    like to have a play with carving bone if I ever get through my pile
    of opal I have to carve for clients. 

    Orchid members sure are a very mixed and varied bunch of talented
    souls, I have learned so much about photography and a million other
    things that don't spring to mind at the minute. 

    Christine in the Ridge who should be working and not playing on the
    puter.
