<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 11432077, member: 5833&quot;]I always love an excuse to run a UV flashlight around my darkened display cabinet, where there are objects made of elephant &amp; walrus ivory, antler &amp; tagua nut.&nbsp; What I see is that the materials that are basically tooth enamel - the ivories - soak up the light &amp; look just about the same as they do in daylight.&nbsp; The antler pieces reflect it back brightly.&nbsp; The tagua nut carvings are variable, with outer layers glowing purple, while deeper in it behaves like ivory.&nbsp; I have had the experience of tagua nut splitting, probably along a growth line.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]543325[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Still looks like bone to me.&nbsp; How does it react to UV?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
