I only have one.  I made it of Sculpey, which is a bakeable polymer 
clay.  It's non-toxic, though not recommended for food use.  I 
wouldn't use it for a goblet, but it doesn't seem that a few seconds 
contact with each pit is likely to have Dire Results.  However, I 
have commissioned a potter to make me one or more molds from 
earthenware, and when I have those -- probably next month -- I will 
discard the old mold.

If you have access to a potter (or even just access to a kiln), it 
should be pretty easy to make a mold.  Press each side of a 
peach pit into two separate blocks of clay.  Remove carefully.  Fire 
the mold.  There has also been some discussion on this list about 
other modern mold-making materials.  Liquid latex was one, I think.

As I think someone has already expalined, it's an odorless powder, 
made from sandalwood.  It looks like paprika.  You can get it from 
the Pepperer's Guild.  I suspect Francisco Sirene would also sell it. 
 If you have to substitute food coloring, use a dark red, and use a 
paste coloring, like they sell for cake frosting.
