Alaskan Fossil Ivory Walrus Tusk Ganesha Carved by David Corwin

Mineralized ivory is a more accurate term than Fossil Ivory.
Walrus tusk, buried for up to 5,000 years, absorbs minerals from the soil
which eventually colors it in a range from golden through chocolate browns and black.
Real fossil stone would be difficult to carve---even with the Foredom Drill used on this piece.
