    How exactly do you check for Federal Jewelry Regulations? I was in NM
    at the Navajo Reservation, watching a well known Indian Jeweler
    create his works of art, and we were discussing using Bears Claws in
    Indian Jewelry. He said he was once at a show and the "FEDS" were
    confiscating jewelry that had Bears Claws in it. He has never used
    them since. 

    How would one check for the legality of Bears Claws or Turtle Shell,
    or coral or.... 

Love and God Bless
