    Mammoth ivory is a unique material because of its value and properties. Tusks which have been lying for tens of thousands of years in permafrost, are extracted today in just a few regions of our planet. A very small percentage can be kept in a condition suitable for sculpture manufacturing. The Olmart House uses mammoth ivory of superior quality only.
