Mammoth Tusk / Mammoth Ivory Section – 290 g – Craft & Collectible Material A substantial section of fossil mammoth tusk (mammoth ivory), weighing approximately 290 grams. The piece retains a large part of its natural dark brown outer surface, while the exposed interior shows the attractive natural grain and cross-sectional structure of the material. This is an interesting piece both as a collectible natural-history specimen and as material for craftsmanship. Due to its size and solid areas, the material may potentially be suitable for making tespih / prayer beads, jewellery, small carvings, decorative objects, knife-handle components and other handcrafted items. The photographs form an important part of the description and clearly show the condition, natural structure and preserved outer surface. Mammoth is an extinct prehistoric species. This material should not be confused with ivory from modern elephants. Shipping & CITES: Mammoth is an extinct species and mammoth ivory is not listed under CITES.
