I had one of those too and then I lost it in the maelstrom. I can't recall what happened to it. It could have been sold by accident in a garage sale. If I get one of those again, I'm not going to lose it once more, well...unless it no longer works, no longer light up or if it is broken. Those are made of Capiz shells from Capiz, Philippines where these were found. Very delicate shells but you can shape them into any shape.
