Boars' tusks are the usual main pieces, but often also have croc teeth. Some have tiger. I saw a very good one with all croc teeth. The seller turned down $5,000 for it. It was nice, but I certainly would never have paid that much for it.

Usually you don't have any of the "magic" stuff in the ball when you get one. The one on the far left is still intact. It also has a few croc teeth.
