Fossilized Walrus and Mammoth Ivory

Fossilized Ivory most often comes from walrus tusks or teeth and wooly mammoth tusks and molars that have been buried for thousands of years (3,000 to 10,000 years). The coloration of the Fossilized Ivory is dictated by the soil composition surrounding it. The process of fossilization creates beautiful tones and patterns of color within the Ivory.

   All of the Fossilized Ivory we use in our jewelry comes from Alaska, and many samples have been in the forensic labs of the Fish and Wildlife Department.
