Mammoth Tusk
Our Woolly Mammoth tusk is approximately 40,000 years old. Tusks are an important piece of evidence in telling the story of Mammoths. Like trees, each “Growth Ring” of a Mammoth’s Tusk accounts for a single year. A Mammoth’s health can even be determined during different times of its life based on the size of the growth rings.
Black Diamond

Of note, these extraterrestrial gems are the hardest of all Diamonds.
