Due to climate change, most mammoth ivory is no longer suitable for carving; only about 15% of high-quality ice grade mammoth ivory can be used for carving. It is a non-renewable scarce resource, referred to as "white gold" that countries vie to stockpile. It is a precious cultural artifact, and due to its rarity, it has been included in lists of restricted extraction. Mammoth ivory is highly regarded in the market for its legality, non-renewability, and collectible characteristics. Renowned for its exquisite, luxurious, durable, and precious nature, mammoth ivory carvings are hailed as "organic gemstones"! It holds significant potential for appreciation through collection and investment. It appears multiple times in Buddhist scriptures and holds a noble and sacred status in Buddhism, symbolizing warding off evil, attracting fortune, calming the spirit, and stabilizing the home. The scraps from carving can be used medicinally to calm seizures and spirits, as well as to dispel dampness and detoxify. It can even be used in beauty treatments! Mammoth Ivory Grades: When we refer to mammoth ivory, we typically mean the front incisors of mammoths. Mammoth ivory materials are mainly categorized into four types: ice grade, frozen soil grade, soil grade, and molars. Among these four, most opinions consider mammoth white ice grade to be the best. Ice grade: Material sealed in ice layers, considered the finest. Due to the low-temperature, sealed storage environment, the ivory material is preserved cleanly and intact, without spots or cracks, exhibiting excellent quality. Frozen soil grade: As the name suggests, it originates from frozen soil. Its quality is slightly inferior to ice grade, with more cracks, but it offers a richer variation in color 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 yields more waste but also exhibits significant calcification, resulting in poor luster and smoothness, making it difficult to meet carving requirements. Its price is also relatively cheaper. Molars: Mammoth molars, most of which have fossilized. A small portion requires processing before being made into accessories, differing in texture from the other three types. **Pharaoh's Embrace** From mammoth ivory bone The Pharaoh's cat awakens Green diamonds grip the cloak Turquoise beads string the Nile's flow A skull lies silent on the back Counting millennia of sunrises and moonsets The milky white flowing on the wrist Is a lock of ancient prosperity sent **Crafting Process** The mammoth ivory beads are ice grade, curved cut mammoth ivory beads measuring 7.5mm x 6.2mm.
