Guess The Item 🤔

[Grier]

If I may jump in with yet another mysterious item, I have one in mind I see from my sofa.
i seem to be too transparent doing this usually so perhaps I can try harder, I think? Nah..

This item is typically hard with a semi white colour. I can hold mine easily in one hand. It's not edible nor electronic.

Is it made of porcelain?

It feels a bit like porcelain but it's not.

Oops again, sorry Craig.
As a little hint, these items can be colourful but mostly are a paler shade of white.

What material are they made of? What's their purpose?

That sounds like a figure of saint to me then?

Like the Saints, time and tide has washed the sheen off these items.

Something like this you use as a door stop?

Very cute but no chocolates Craig.

As a hint, these items are not man made.

Not a candle Jessica, sorry. the item is much harder than wax.
My one is indeed in my living room, sitting atop a half wall.

Statue

No, not a statue Zman. As mentioned as a hint before, it's not a man made item.

Picking up the one on my shelf just now I measured it.
Its longest dimension is 8.5 cm and it weighs 79 grams.

Its inside is mostly hollow.
It's also a pretty thing, like a statue.

It must be a kind of stone or mineral you picked up while working. You mentioned calcium carbonate, so it might be a prismatic calcite or a seashell-like object with an enclosed insect or marine creature.
