Raffir® Fossils Brain Coral- Resin Stabilized
Color: Blue
Sizes:
- Slab (1 piece)
Listing is for one single slab of material. Select brain coral slab will be the actual piece that you receive, please look at photos closely. Knife pictured is not included in any purchase and is a sample of what products can be used for.
BCB3 Variant measurements taken from shortest-widest width and length measurement is without resin (3.0") to full length (4.8") of slab.
About: These slabs are stabilized and heat cured with resin which produces a more durable material, however, this also results in resin on the outside of the slab so each piece will require a light sanding in order to remove the resin from the surface before attaching to a handle.
Raffir® Fossils are genuine fossils. Raffir® has developed a unique preservation treatment for each of these. All of the treatments stabilize the fossils with vacuum, high pressure and strong resins. Meanwhile, the resins used differ depending on the material. Nonetheless, they all result in a stronger material that is useful for a wide array of luxury products. Raffir® Fossils are most commonly used for fine handles. We also recommend them for jewelry, inlays, accessories and other precious objects.
Working with Raffir® Fossil materials:
The fossils are not yet petrified. However they do contain natural minerals and are harder to work than non-fossil material. Raffir® Mammoth Ivory is the softest of the three. We recommend that you process it with normal tools for bone and horn. Our Raffir® Mammoth Bone is harder than the ivory. Yet, it is still processed with the same equipment. Finally, Raffir® Mammoth Molar is the hardest of the three because of its enamel layers. We recommend diamond tools for this. Alternatively, use tools for hard steel at low process speed if diamond tools are not available. We also recommend saturating the surface of all Raffir® Fossils with cyanoacrylics (SuperGlue) after grinding followed by additional fine sanding and polishing for a smoother and stronger result.Payment & Security
