Original Message: By comparison to known horn beads

I fractured other horn beads, and also did burn tests. The original owner didn’t want the bead back so I destructively tested it, literally to pieces. Horn is quite tough so the force needed to fracture the bead was another observed property.
I have a pretty good stereomicroscope and a pretty good sense of smell.
That’s about as scientific as I can get without any modern analytical equipment.
