2. The cross -section of the product, a certain distance interval, clear and uniform longitudinal texture, which is an arc -shaped cross on the horizontal section, and a rhombus texture of less than 90 O. This kind of texture is also called The Leluz pattern is unique to the ivory (see the picture below below).
The second, knowing fakes ratio features The ivory fake counterfeit goods on the market are mainly bone products, animal teeth, fish teeth or other similar materials. Mainly pretending to be ivory with bone products include beef bones, horse bones, camel bones, etc.; those who use teeth to imitate ivory are hippoted teeth and sea elephant teeth.
The color and luster are very different from the ivory before processed. The color of the bone is gray, the color tone is dull, and the non -ivory color is a warm feeling. Therefore, counterfeiters often need to bleach the beast bone first, and then polish the wax.
The bone eye · feature presentation but bleaching bone carvings even better, even if processing is processed, it will never be left to leave a small amount of extremely subtle dark spots. "Bone eyes". As long as you look at it under the magnifying glass, you can definitely find "bone eyes". Therefore, when identifying, we only need to grasp the "teeth" of ivory, and the "bone eyes" of the bone carving can better identify the authenticity of the mammoth ivory products. The collector involved in the tooth sculpture should not think that seeing the so -called "teeth" is ivory, but also to see what the teeth are like, so that it will not be easily fooled.
This tooth tooth patterns are presented Naiso teeth also have dental patterns, but they are obviously different from the rhombus -shaped Leduz pattern of the fierce ivory.

Different. Third, the national inspection certification is more authoritative The conventional means of mammothing ivory testing and appraisal is to use the instrument to analyze the element ingredients of ivory or determine the species and other methods.

Looking at the lines, if it is a natural diamond -shaped intersection, it can be judged that it is true. If it is a twisted line, it is fake. The figure below is the line of ivory, you can take a look.
(1) Look at the weight The jewelry of the same size, the weight of the ivory is obviously heavier than the bone -made and the artificial ivory accessories. (2) Look at the bone The texture of the ivory is delicate, and there are small ripples on the top. In contrast, the production texture of bone products is rough, and the texture on it is also thick, and the artificial ivory pattern is not easy to see.

Although the gloss of artificial ivory jewelry is better than the bone products, it is still not as good as ivory products Oil. (4) See color ivory jewelry is often white texture, and most of the bone carving accessories must be bleached. After the jewelry is bleached, it is dry. (5) See workmanship ivory jewelry is precise, while the workmanship of bone carvings is relatively rough, while artificial ivory jewelry often leaves mold marks.
