Original text on this topic:
Subsitute for rhino horn. Now Ahmed al-wazir, a yemeni craftsman, has produced 35 dagger handles made of locally mined agate, and they appear to have passed a popularity test with the country's elite. He now plans to turn them out commercially, selling them at $1700. In 1994, 70 kg of raw rhino horn was smuggled into yemen from Kenya, Sudan, Ethiopia.
