IF YOU SEARCH IN THE ARCHIVES THERE IS SOME INFORMATION THAT COULD BE LINKED HERE. DON'T KNOW HOW TO LINK IT UNFORTUNATELY.

THE PATTERN YOU GET FROM THESE CAN BE CONTROLLED BY THE DIRECTION THE TOOTH IS CUT INTO AND OFTEN A FOUR SIDED PIECE WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PATTERN ON EACH SIDE AND TWO MORE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. THE MATERIAL FROM JAVA SEEMS TO BE A GOOD STURDY MATERIAL UNLIKE WHAT IS FOUND IN MANY OTHER PLACES IN THE WORLD.
PERSONALLY I LIKE THE MATERIAL BUT HATE TO THINK OF CUTTING UP A COMPLETE SPECIMIN TO MAKE ANYTHING OUT OF IT.
