"Don't Play with Your Food"   "Woolly Mammoth Ivory" from the studio of  'William Sidmore'  "This ivory was collected while beach combing the Bering Sea region of Alaska.  This area produces the 'richest' colors due to the mineral salts offered by the long term immersion while this ivory remained on the sea-bed.  When the Ice Age was in full force, the Bering Sea was dry land as the build-up of the interior glaciers lowered the sea level."
