About ivory
Ivory is a dense, organic material composed primarily of dentine from the tusks and teeth of animals such as elephants, mammoths, walruses, hippopotamuses and others. It is off-white to yellowish in color and can show characteristic cross-hatch patterns (Schreger lines) in cross-section for elephant and mammoth ivory. With Mohs hardness around 2.5–3 and good toughness, it has historically been prized for carving, inlay and decorative objects rather than faceted gems.
