A friend gave me a chunk of what I believe is ivory . He says he has had it for over 25 years and got it from a native elder. It doesn't have the shrager lines but it does have like wave lines like you would see on a beach . There are fine cracks in circles and a crack from one end to the other . It's heavy ,cold and stays cold ,the hot needle test doesn't penetrate it, no smoke and smell. . There is a small hole in the center on both ends of the cross cut. There are black lines on the outer surface . It's very smooth and hard. There is a large chip like would come off of a log . Is there anyway to send you a picture of it .

Ive done a bit of scrimshaw and he gave it to me for that end but im so reluctant... its such a majestic item in its own right, I dont want to erase its story by sanding all the grooves flat etc ...

So... I came across 6 pairs of ivory chopsticks... About a year ago, I was at a flea market and bought a rubber banded bundle of chopsticks 8.5 pairs for a $1.99. They sat in my drawer for over a year, while I finished up my bamboo ones (that get dark and gross after a while). I took them out to wash them last night, and noticed some of them were still bright, while others had yellowed, and they felt a little different. I noticed their differences even more as I washed them, and the yellowed ones didn't come clean. When I laid them out to dry, i noticed some of the yellowed ones had slight curves to them and striations. Then I tried the hot pin test... Upon further research, I'm certain they're not bone. I have 6 pairs of ivory chopsticks, and 2.5 pairs of ivory colored plastic ones. Unbelievable... I'm sad that the rubber band left stains on them, but I plan to use them to eat with anyway. Most likely elephant, sadly.

grabbed of box of interesting items after my Great Uncle's passing. He spent 30 years living in Africa in the mid-late 20th century amongst the items were two interesting pieces, one is very clearly a tooth (very light and seems porous) but it is carved beautifully. it's about 25cm long too, so must've come from a large animal if it's real. the other, i am somewhat-confident is some kind of ivory tusk. it's carved/hollow with a caravan of elephants walking down it, about 50cm in length and rather curved. similar to the hippo tusk in this video. would be interesting to know if they were authentic. the fact he did travel around Africa is a good sign.

Hello BZ, thank you for checking out our channel, we appreciate your support. You’re right in that warthog ivory and elephant both have Schrager lines ( grain patterns) and so does hippo. The difference is that elephant is much bolder and crisscrosses like if you tossed three stones into the water at the same time and the ripples all ran into each other’s. It forms a crosshatch pattern. Warthog and hippo ivory’s pattern is simply growth rings, no crosshatching and very much finer. I hope this helps you out and I will do a little video on this as we only touched upon the most commonly used ivory. Take care.

I live in Alaska. I find stuff on the beach alot. How do I tell the difference between a Mammoth, ivory/bone? Perhaps say a walrus ivory/bone. Or a whale or something? Some are tan/brown. Some are smooth white, & a variety of other stuff. Age would be nice to.🤔

Hello Rightpassage, we are so happy you found our channel, welcome to the tribe! It’s wicked cool that you get beach comb up in Alaska. I would love to join you sometime. The major difference between walrus and other types is the core. Walrus tusk usually has an outer layer about a half inch thick of very fine grain ivory surrounding a core of a marbled material that looks a bit like tapioca. Even the fossilized tusk will show this. Mammoth tusk quite often will delaminate in layers and will have a greater radius do to the larger size of the tusk. Mammoth also has Schrager lines like elephant, that’s a crosshatch pattern on the end grain. You might even find walrus teeth which are about the size of your fingers in diameter and one to two inches long, generally the top end will be worn at an angle. Bones are tough to explain without seeing them and age would be a guess without radiocarbon dating. Walrus could be anywhere from yesterday to thousands of years old. Mammoth-something like 10,000-50,000 years old. I would love to see your treasures. What part of Alaska do you live ( big state). I was stationed there in the Army. Anyway, happy hunting and l hope this was helpful.

When I was like 2, idk I have memories from that age apparently but I don’t remember this one: I stuck into where the elephants were at the zoo and my moms standing there amongst the crowd (Because they were about to bring the elephants out so the zoo workers were talking to the small crowd that gathered in to listen.) And as the zoo lady was talking my mom saw behind her some kid walking up to the elephamt and thought, “Tskk who’s kid is that where are the fking parents?” until she realized it was me. Completely embarrassed and not wanting to expose that SHES the mom, she’s with the side of her mouth “psst! Rachel! Rachel!” doing that weird whisper shouting thing. 😂😂 After that she made me wear a child leash which back in the very early 90’s was one of those plastic coil things that went to a Velcro wrist strap on me. Now THAT I can remember from escaping from one time. I was a very good kid but absolutely terrible at age 2 maybe 3 for some reason even my memories during that time are odd it’s such infant thinking. But yeah it was just my mom and I at the fair by the food tent and she bumped into some lady she knew and they were talking. Well the friend was talking and my mom was doing this “Yeah.. yeah.. uh huh” thing she does when she doesn’t want to talk but doesn’t know how to be rude and just end it. HATED it growing up which is why I’m such a bitch. By the time I was a teenager I was like, “Why do you talk to people you don’t want to? Tell them to f off.” Idc if it’s not the Japanese thing to do, but god damn it I always told her don’t care about what other people think! She cared way too much where’s I don’t give a shit. ANYWAY, I’m looking all the way up at them like it’s Rugrats or something and I’m bored. I look down at my wrist at the child leash like .. ok. Defeated immediately I just look next to me and the pole holding up the tent gave me an idea. I held my wrist next to the pole and lo and behold they were the same size! I looked back up, “Yeah yeah.. yeah” looked back down at the strap and took it off. With my two little hands strapped the pole and ta-da. When it fit perfectly I thought: “There.” Looked up, “Mmm hmm… yeah.” And began my adventure! So I wandered checking out the food booths and got instantly bummed. Now what? I walked way past the the end of the food tent at this food place that always had cool signage and thought this is boring. I’m going back. I began to walk back and prob took two steps when she immediately ran up to me freaking tf out. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh my god. I must’ve grew out of it by the end of age 3 because I remember my thinking changed a lot. I even went to preschool for 2 years before kindergarten and I was extremely shy and quiet. All through elementary school I ever played with the other kids I rather have just watched. High school I couldn’t even order my own food in a restaurant I was so shy. So it’s kind of hard to think of myself as the escape artist that I was in my terrible twos.
