Besides the fact that I have heard it on authority both ways. Not sure who to believe.
To quote the current Bugle magazine in the article "Ivory-elk's hidden treasure":
"When asked if elk ivories are real ivory, Picton says they are no different than tusks worn by walruses or elephants. 'they're the say chemical composition and structure,' he says. Dueane Rasmussen of Jensen Jewelers in Burley, Idaho, has worked with elk ivoires for more than 30 years. 'Every test we've conducted on them indicates ther're true ivory,' he says.
All I know for sure is that they are beautiful to me and they are some of my most prized posessions.
