From Damask steel for the blades for knives to precious wood like desert iron wood and mammoth tooth fossils and shell for handles. These mammoth tusks are preserved in the permafrost of extremely cold regions such as Alaska or Siberia. The heart of the tusk remains ivory colored, while its surface becomes charged with minerals, giving it a myriad of colors: golden-green to lagoon-blue for ivory preserved in ice, caramel-brown sometimes with superficial fissures and cracks for ivory imprisoned in the frozen bogs of Siberia, through a palette of nuances from beige to brown, red or black.
