Tagua help (vegetable ivory)

[ScottishKate]

I am an artist from scotland and i am looking for help with finding somewhere in the uk or somewhere i can import from, for untreated Tagua, my searches on the internet only show up pieces that have been treated with dye or varnish which would not work for what i need it for sadly, can anyone please point me in the right direction i would be so grateful!

Yandles certainly do them, tried turning one the other day, incredibly hard, splinters up like acrylic, but even worse.
