Besically its a clear resin composite with a pigment or particles in suspension.
You can very easily make a mould and go to your local resin company , buy casting resin and add whatever you like to give you a "look" , you can add bronze metal powder to give you something that is hard , dense , non resonant, looks like cast bronze and is workable. There are amazing things you can add to the resin , you can get granite , jade , marble , perlescent et additives Making a mould for a shelf is really easy .
I have a trophy company and we make Faux marble , granite , verdite and red african jade bases for various awards using this concept. The metal powders in the resins *do* look good tho , the cast item looks like aluminium or bronze or brass depesnding on what powder is used , and when polished looks like real cast polished metal. The stuff is really easy to machine as well.
You dont have to be a rocket scientist to use it either and most of the suppliers have free give away booklets on how to make a mould and will generally help with it.Casting resin is cheap too.
