It's amazing how nicely this stuff polishes up . With a high shine it seems almost like the black material is absorbing light .
Akar Bahar also comes in white; has anyone an example of white akar bahar ?

Just for clarity, the end tip of my rencong is not white coral but an ivory replacement much later.

A search provides this example .

back in the 1960's and 1970's there was heaps of this stuff available in bali, mostly in the form of bracelets, i had a lot and most have been given away.

i'm not home right now, but when i get back i'll dig out what i can find and post. got some bits of red stuff too.

don't have any keris hilts of it, wouldn't mind one.
