One way to check for real v fake ivory is to heat a pin in a lighter and then try and poke a little hole. Real ivory doesn't melt at all, and a lot of imitation ivory does, and that is a very easy and expedient test.

Thank you. Ideally we can blur the lines between these two, so that the price for one is ruined because they can't be distinguished.
