    LOL, YEAH it is a bar of soap! Actually, though, it was described as "stone" vs. "steatite" (soapstone). When I got it, it IS a much denser / heavier material as stone. It is pretty cool.

    Translucent! Being Etruscan (YES, they made a lot of scarabs), and a translucent stone... it was way cool, but over my bidding budget. I did not get two cars, rather being a caregiver for a mo-in-law... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:nailbiting:

    Sorry you missed out on the Etruscan scarab, Alegandron. But, man, what a consolation prize!

    I'm so tempted to get another scarab. I need a bigger budget. lol :p

    That is awesome, Steve!

    I think I'm going to have to start saving for another scarab. They're just too cool.
