Yeah... I would really like to know how to get that effect on purpose with bone. I've got a project to make my own scales with it, but I'm really busy with a bunch of other stuff and I haven't had a chance to get everything I need.

My plan is to cut down a chew-toy bone from the pet store, get it in the shape of the scales and then soak it in really rusty water for a few days. Then I'll soak it in neatsfoot oil, then polish it. I think that'll get me something similar to these, since I'm pretty sure that's how this set ended up looking the way it does. But the other bone scales I have I don't seem to be able to get to that kind of translucent luster, so maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree...
