Most of the places I've seen are selling scales, and I'd rather have a block for the project I'm working on. I need it to be about 4.5 to 5" long, and between 1" and 1-1/2" square. I want it to be more or less white or cream colored.

Thanks,
Phillip
 
Been a while but you might tryB&B Ivory- Charles Gelinas 1-512-778-5513 Liberty, Texas
 
Phillip I have a couple of blocks of mammoth tooth that is 4 1/2 by 1 1/4 square that is white colored with darker stripes if your interested in tooth ivory.
 
I picked mine up from "The Russians" at the Tuscon gem and mineral show. 2 years ago they had maybe 7-10 tubs of all kinds of Mammoth ivory... global warming was exposing more and more of them

Yet another reason to love global warming. :D
I don't get around to too many shows, do you know if they have a website?


Thanks for the suggestions everybody, I'm sure I'll find some at one of these places.
