[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 249875, member: 2844"]Nice set, Stephen. The inlay is bone. Whether or not you see a Haversian unit depends on the kind of bone - which animal, size of bone - and the way it has been cut. Warthogs live in Africa, Sri Lanka has wild boar. But this is bone. Wild pig tusks have irregular dentine lines, without the schreger cross-hatching. The cross-section is triangular, not round. Bone can also have lines. Those are the lines you see in your inlay.[/QUOTE]
