Hazen, You have just seen your first set of "Mother of Pearl" keytops! Otherwise known a Abalone shell. There is a good book that describes the technicques involved: "Pearl Inlay", subtitled: "Working with Mother - Of - Pearl", by J.E.Patterson, Copyright 1978, Published by J.E.Patterson, 715 Gharkey Street, Santa Cruz, California, 95060. The only place I have seen this stuff available is from: Constantine's, 2050 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY, 10461; 1-(800) 223-8087 Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Squares Are Grand Too!<G>
