Been making these for years----yup the are made of real stone.
I was getting the stone from China until they jacked the prices way up.
The stone is called Shou Sham----turns with regular tools. I do use a file for the last 20%.
It also is very fragile---thus the Ivory bands on the ends---yup--real Ivory.
