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 chocolate brown and the finish is Midway

A Midway (M) finish, when polished about 20%, produces a surface somewhere between the Shagreen and the Caviar. This Midway surface can have the feel of orange peel.  It is neither smooth nor heavily beaded.
