It is made of a very thick armour Valley cortex which is beyond the diameter of the holder. It can be seen that this tortoiseshell is a huge and rare creature which has been far beyond a thousand years!

The disc on the back cover is made of the same material as the tortoiseshell. Because it is slightly thick, the color is heavy. The whole body is very thin, so it can have high transparency and excellent luster. It can also present beautiful purple and a little yellow. Because it is very thin, it is better. However, it is extremely difficult to make such a disc. Only the shell of tortoiseshell can have super toughness, so it can be carved like a bird This is an immortal masterpiece that is active, can vibrate and move up and down, left and right. Now, this will never happen again in the world! This is the priceless cultural relic on the top of the earth! No more!!!
