Good Sources of Ivory

It is a known fact that original ivories are the ones that come from the teeth of elephants and teeth and tusks of the wooly mammoth. This doesn’t mean that these are the only sources of such object because this can also be acquired on the tusks and teeth of walrus, such as the Pacific Walrus, which tusks grow up to five centimeters and are elongated. Its teeth come in irregularly round form. This object can also be acquired on the beak of the Helmeted Hornbill.

Such object is a good source of artistic pieces and precious materials. This is why many people, especially the hobbyists and collectors who are getting engaged in collecting anything that is made from such. If you want to start on this, you have to make sure that you only acquire the legal types. It is a fact that hunting elephants for their tusks and teeth has already been banned since the 70s. It is now illegal to buy pieces and things that come from the tusks of the elephants that have been gathered after the ban has been imposed. You need to look for the types that come from ancient elephants or from the extinct wooly mammoth
