While they call it fossil Ivory it is not a true fossil. Technically it is mineralized. Sanding is like bone or hard antler.If it's fossilized, it's a rock, right? If so, I'd use it for some spacers. I wouldn't want it to crack at a buttcap or ferrule...

I am going to put it in the cheese tasting tray and the local deli and see what sort of reaction people give when they bite into it.
Looks like a baby parmesan cheese to me--complete with rind.
