The market is probably flooded with counterfeit rhino horn already... It's essentially just keratin, which can be reclaimed from hair and nail clippings. Most people don't buy entire horns, as the price is really high ($50k-100k/kg according to google). Keratin powder, or keratin pressed into chunks, would probably fool most people, and there's effectively no way for consumers to verify authenticity. So, fake rhino horn is easier than fake drugs, fake gemstones, fake currency etc.
