The most valuable tusks are those which make a complete circle. In order for a tusk to grow that way, the pig must be raised in a cage and hand fed. Once the tusks grow too far, the animal can no longer actually eat. About 1 in 10 pigs survive the process and live this way long enough to have circular tusks. A necklace with one of those is very valuable. |
