Silkstone is a mixture of granite and other elements so that it is very hard and much heavier than vinyl. Robert Best and Mattel came together to create Silkstone dolls.

Trace of Lace is stunning, and her dress is to die for (I love black lace). Silkstone dolls are thinner than their earlier Mattel counterparts, so your clothing for early Barbie’s will fit, but they will be loose. The Silkstone clothing, however, will not fit the early Barbie bodies. Silkies can wear Fashion Fever clothing, and FF can wear SOME Silkier outfits.
