Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi Centre-Sud / Plateau Mont-Royal / Mile-End Puzzle balls and Ivory A: They were usually made of ivory but can also be found in synthetic ivory, resin, wood, jade, and other materials. They often come with a tall and elaborate stand. "Synthetic Ivory", sometimes called "Mandarin Ivory" or "Hong Kong Ivory", is usually made of a finely ground powdered ox bone mixed with resin. Articles are cast in their basic shape then finished by hand carving and decorating. They have exactly the same look and feel as the "real thing"; but are much cheaper and, most importantly, are not the cause of the death of any elephant. The largest ivory ones can be over 6 inches in diameter and have over 20 balls inside each other. They are very fragile and it is important that they are not damaged. It is advisable not to allow children to play with good examples. The sphere is turned on a lathe then conical holes are drilled towards the center. Starting with the longest tool he lowers it to the narrow bottom of each hole in turn and rotates it to cut the innermost ball free.
