Best Answer

Ivory is a material which is harvested from animal teeth, bones, or tusks, often used in carvings or embellishments. While popular up through the 19th century, the ivory trade has caused many species of animals to go extinct or become critically endangered, and therefore is heavily restricted. Most countries have made it illegal to sell, trade, purchase, or create products made from ivory.
