  13. Mammoth Tusk Carvings I had bought these in China, carved, from Mammoth tusk imported through the land port Manchulia, China, from Siberia, Russia. Since then, I understand now it is illegal to import Mammoth Tusk, similar to the Elephant Ivory laws. At the time I purchased them and brought them home, Mammoth was not an endangered species (being extinct), therefore there were no problems. Now, it looks like Custom Laws have changed. Like Ivory, existing pieces are grandfathered (as I understand the changes.)Mammoth Tusk - Russia find China carved Chinese Zodiac BOAR and RABBITI am the Boar, my wife's Zodiak is the Rabbit.

  18. @ValiantKnight, I do deeply understand. RIP to your Baby. My Dog, Blue. She passed 1-1/2 yrs ago. She was my constant companion, coming with me everywhere: Work, home, even room-to-room where ever I was. She saved my life on two very critical occasions. I have had many dogs, cats, and other critters in my life. Blue and I connected like no other. She loved everyone, and everyone really liked her too. Always a tail a-waggin', always smiling. Even in her final days when her dysplasia was becoming intolerable: She smiled and was happy. I deeply miss her Soul.
