fossil walrus ivory -blue

[milesofalaska]

Fossil walrus ivory tusk tip 2.7 ounces. 4 ½ inches long x 1 inch across at the base. Fits in the hand well as a knife handle - small fixed blade hunter skinner kitchen knife. Very vivid hard to find dark blue black that runs deep and consistent. Gem quality, the best there is. The bluest side has a natural indentation -grove that should not distract from the piece, but could be sanded out if desired. Solid, no cracks well aged (over 10 years-so nice and dry- will not crack ). $130 This smaller tusk tip sold

Hey Philippe. The smaller first piece sold only a few hours after posting. I have the second larger marked as spoken for by you till you make a decision on it. Yes the closer up end shot got blurry , guessing I forgot to put the camera on close up mode. I call it ‘crack free’ but upon closer inspection near the base – in the blurry end shot lower left corner is a ‘impact fracture’ not going into the piece about 1/8th down and ¼ across- hairline. That will probably get trimmed off and not an issue when the rough end is sanded or cut straight. I added a close up shot of that area so you can see. Anything a customer buys from me is returnable for a refund no questions or problems. I’m getting some interest in this piece listed only a day, off my web site, so let me know if you want it. I think whoever gets this will be happy with it! Thanks.
