Pink Ivory
Berchemia zeyheri
A fairly rare wood from Southern Africa ranging in color from light pink to watermelon red. At one time it was described as being "rarer than diamonds". It is very dense, hard and heavy and takes a very high polish. Beautiful for turnery, inlays and other precious items.
This piece has a couple cracks in the middle of one face and a small inclusion on the same face. These defects don't go through to the other side.
