History : Galalith (milk stone) is a registered trade mark, patented in the 1890's in Bavaria. Mostly produce in Europe during the first part of the 20th century, this semi-synthetic plastic (Casein is the generic name), is made from skimmed milk curdled with rennet. Cured by long immersion in formaldehyde, it became a useful thermosetting material, which can be moulded in beautiful patterns. It's color doesn't change over time.
Galalith pieces are machined, sanded or hand-finished and therefore there should be no marks left on them (in opposition to cheap mass produced plastics), so all pieces are seamless and this material belonging to the plastic family is considered to be a top quality chunky plastic.
