FASCINATING FINDS

Exclusive materials of highest quality are chosen for the "pen of the Year 2006": materials that are a challenge to obtain. For the best mammoth ivory one must undergo adbenturous expedititions to the coast of the Artic Ocean in Sibiria. Frozen in pure ice, the ivory there has retained its immaculate  beauty. It comes to light only cluring the brief Siberian summer.For export the ivory reqires a license that cannot be granted until a scientific assessment has been carried out.
