The Narwhal Tusk: Nature’s Most Mystical Marine Treasure
For centuries, the narwhal tusk has captivated explorers, scientists, and collectors. This spiral ivory marvel—actually an elongated tooth—is one of Earth’s rarest natural wonders. But beyond its mythical allure, owning a narwhal tusk means holding a piece of Arctic history.
Why Own a Narwhal Tusk?
✔ Scientific & Artistic Value – Prized by museums and collectors for its unique spiral structure.

Did You Know? A narwhal’s tusk can grow up to 10 feet long and contains sensory capabilities, helping it detect changes in its environment.

Yes—but only with proper documentation. Narwhals are protected under CITES regulations, meaning tusks must be:
-
Pre-ban or sustainably sourced (harvested before 1972 or from Inuit subsistence hunts).
