Ouch!
I agree, I would seek out antique restores or people that does ivory carvings or scrimshaws in your area, maybe they can help. Strike that, I meant bone carvings.
If you go the CyA glue route, make sure you have steady hands.

yes, I have a contact for ivory repair that another member has used successfully. I wanted to send him some good pics and then get an idea what he thinks.
and with Ivory no, I don't trust my hands

and yes, I was very sick over the damage when I received it

Would not use superglue. Would use a two-component adhesive. Just my thoughts!
