The story of this bracelet makes me certain it is Elephant...My Engineer Brother- in-Law & Family were sent by the large Construction Company Zachry he worked for, to work in Sri Lanka, a Large coastal island belonging to India for 3 years. They brought us many things for me village craftsmen there. Lots of hammered brass items, things of the Jungle there such as woven natural coasters and such. Even Ruby's & Sapphires! With all of that you may be familiar with the type of native Elephant there. My Brother-in-law encountered them all the time working in the jungle with the Dam, & Canal System the USA built for the Indian Government there. My sister-in-law who brought back this bracelet said she was told this was made from the hair of the tail of an Elephant. My family raised horses & cattle, and it is too coarse to be from the tail of I horse, or cow, I do know. I have out on a lot of weight and I can no longer wear it is the reason I am moving it on to someone that will enjoy it. I hope this lengthy story of the bracelet helps. Thanks so much for your interest! Yes, I would be willing to do a Gin of 15,000 credits. If that sounds good to you let me know and I will set it... 1whiteyford
