[QUOTE="Aiden pearce, post: 11407392, member: 96891"]In the antiques market in my country, I came across this necklace. The seller claims it is made from all the different colors of rhinoceros horn and is selling it for $525, which is a very high price in my country. What I noticed is that the black pieces, when struck against each other, produce a solid, dull sound, not a plastic-like one, and they also have something resembling very fine hair-like fibers on the surface. I did a bit of research and found someone asking about a similar necklace, and one of the replies stated that it was made from cow horn, which is very common and widely available. So my question is: is this actually rhinoceros horn, or not? Disclaimer: I am not trying to buy or sell any of these items. I am only trying to verify this because the price is extremely high, and many sellers assume buyers are ignorant and won’t do their own research. [ATTACH=full]542791[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
