The United Nations Convention does not prohibit the trade and processing of mammoth ivory. As a fossilized remnant, much of the mammoth ivory is unsuitable for carving due to climate change. Only about 15% of high-quality, ice-grade mammoth ivory is suitable for carving. This is a scarce, non-renewable resource, often referred to as "white gold" by governments worldwide, and is considered a precious cultural artifact. Its rarity has led to restrictions on its excavation. Mammoth ivory is highly regarded in the market for its legality, rarity, and collectible value. Its exquisite, luxurious, durable, and precious carvings have earned it the reputation of an "organic gemstone," possessing significant potential for collection and investment appreciation. It appears frequently in Buddhist scriptures, holding a revered and sacred status in Buddhism with symbolic meanings of warding off evil, attracting fortune, calming the spirit, and stabilizing the home. Fragmentary materials from carving can be used medicinally to calm seizures, soothe the spirit, and expel dampness and toxins. It can even be used in beauty treatments. Grades of Mammoth Ivory: What we commonly refer to as mammoth ivory pertains to the front tusks of mammoths. The material for mammoth ivory carvings is mainly categorized into four types: ice-grade, frozen soil grade, soil grade, and molars. Among these four, most opinions consider the ice-grade mammoth ivory to be the best. Ice-grade: Material preserved within ice layers, considered the finest. Due to the cold and sealed storage environment, the ivory is clean, intact, free from spots or cracks, and of excellent quality. Frozen soil grade: As the name suggests, sourced from frozen soil. Its quality is slightly inferior to ice-grade, with more cracks, but it offers richer color variations and is cleaner and purer than soil grade, making it quite popular in the market. Soil grade: Generally considered the lowest grade. It not only has a high proportion of waste material but also exhibits significant calcification, resulting in poor luster and smoothness, making it difficult to meet carving requirements. Its price is also relatively lower. Molars: Mammoth molars, most of which have fossilized. A small portion requires processing to be made into accessories and differs in texture from the other three types. **Qing Xue** Snow paints Mount Yanlan A transparent white As sunlight spills over Lingering snow gleams like stars on grass tips The crimson kissed by snow Is the mountain's hidden heartbeat Each snowflake that falls and melts Is a seed of good fortune sprouting The sky clears, the path widens May you carry this clear post-snow brightness Wishing you smooth sailing and a life full of light **Product Description** This three-strand bracelet is strung with approximately 6mm mammoth ivory round beads, each polished to be smooth and pleasing to the touch.

The refreshing blue-green of the turquoise, like the sky after rain, brings a unique sense of clarity to the bracelet. The second strand features a similarly exquisite arrangement: an ice-grade mammoth ivory 'Buxiang Buddha' charm, a small, full-bodied, richly colored natural carnelian bead, and a small natural turquoise bead. These echo the turquoise and carnelian on the other strand, creating a harmonious unity within the variation.
