<p>[QUOTE="Antiquer, post: 222489, member: 4308"]I'm open to suggestions. Never to old to learn. What would you suggest on how to test on ivory? I think I'm now so far in my knowledge to distinguish certain materials from others without using the needle test but don't know how far JTiis is on that mater. He can also send it to a laboratory and pay the bill . </p><p><br /></p><p>I was just saying what I would do! I would hold it to the side or such not even a half second is enough to get the smell. If you do it correctly than you will have no damage. The side will not even come in sight from what I can see and if its ivory than you could polish the side up again. Happens every day[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
