Ivory carrom striker is the type of carrom board striker which is made with the natural substance that is the elephant teeth.
The teeth’s of an elephant is widely known as tusks.
In this post, we are going to talk about this natural thing and where we can get this ivory carrom striker from both online and offline stores.
So let’s get started!

Why It’s Better?
Ivory in the carrom striker is better for a few reasons:
Natural source
As you know by now that ivory is a natural material coming right from the animal’s tusks and teeth’s.
Now, one thing you should know about ivory is that people think that:
Ivory = elephant tusk
When it’s not simply true.
Ivory is extracted from other animals as well and they are:
- Mammoth
- Walrus
- Narwhal
- Hippopotamus
- Killer whale
- Sperm whale
- Warthog
However, the best possible ivory available to human kind is the ivory of elephant indeed.
Hard material
Ivory material is reliable especially for carrom striker because while playing, a lot of players drop it on the floor although this doesn’t break the sticker (regardless of any type) that easy but, a few reports states that sometimes the carrom strikers do break because of the dropping.
But, there is no report saying that ivory carrom striker has ever been broke.
That’s why top-notch players always prefer to play with the ivory carrom striker because it’s pretty tough and almost non-breakable when they drop on the floor.
Issues
Many people try to avoid the ivory stickers saying it’s a part of an animal. But, the ivory is extracted only from the animals which are not in a living condition.
So, it’s not like sellers of these type of strikers are doing any harm to animals and extracting the ivory via animal abuse.
It’s only extracted from the animals in which the soul doesn’t exist anymore.
