    Although "a rose is a rose is a rose", I don't believe a turtle is a turtle is a turtle, or "not all turtles are created equal". The commercial tortoise shell used in so many products over the centuries appears to have come mainly from the hawksbill sea turtle that was hunted to the brink of extinction to provide razor scales, combs, guitar picks, etc., etc. for the masses. I don't believe any old turtle shell can be used for this purpose. It appears that yours may be much better suited for hanging on the wall.
