How common is Wooly Mammoth ivory, and how much does it cost?

There is a Wooly Mammoth Ivory website that may supply answers to your questions.

While you are viewing that website, also listen to this

Um…I thought mammoths were extinct

LATE PLEISTOCENE: 150,000 – 10,000 years ago.I would check the source carefully, unless the seller is Ray Ramano.

edit:Romano

oh, jeez, that actually took me a moment to figure out, gail

Its a lot more common than you would think. Mammoth ivory is legal, and elephant ivory is illegal….

Check it out, Gail. It’s really out there. Kind of interesting to own a piece too.

@deep; I saw the source and was troubled. Why make stuff out of Mammoth ivory? It seems ridiculous, given the issues of the day. Just drill holes in 20 sea shells and thread them. It is like the old need to have real egret plumes or tortoise shell frivolities.

gail, they use mammoth ivory because it’s legal. They have been dead for thousands of years, so using their ivory is not endangering the species in anyway.

But wouldn’t there be a finite amount left? I know that it is legal, but it seems an odd and arbitrary decision, like making necklaces out of dinosaur vertebrae.
