Comments: Ivory is a hard, white, opaque substance that is the main material of teeth and defences of animals such as elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, narwhal, cachalot, phacochère. In France the word ivory applies preferentially (and commercially) to ivory of elephant or mammoth. The so-called "crust" is the outer part of the tooth, the one that has remained in contact with the soil for several millennia, giving it a texture and colour that make it essential to its value.
