This is a real fish skin with leather backing to hold its shape. There may be slight variations between patches but the photos are representative of the patch you will receive. There can be small scars and imperfections as a result of living in the wild.  The accuracy of the color sample is not guaranteed as monitors and brightness vary.

There are several finishes on the stingray skins.  This one is dyed black.  The finish is caviar.

The Caviar (C) finish -bumps or beads- is the natural appearance. The beads are actually calcium deposits or bones on the outside of the body that have had the barbs sanded smooth but not flat.  They resemble a miniature cobblestone street.
