Posted By: Jem Thu, Sep 24, 2020 Hi there, thank you for your response Ernest; however, it is not a nut carving, it is very much so ivory, it features Schreger lines, or as my instructors at the GIA called them, engine turning. I am a trained and experienced gemologist, so fully know what is or is not ivory. |
