Large amounts of fossil mammoth ivory are found in Alaska and the Yukon. These pieces are hand carved from Fossil Ivory of prehistoric North American mammoths. These elephants like enormous animals, sometimes had tusks that weighed as much as 200 pounds each. This mammoth ivory has been preserved in the permafrost of the north for thousands of years. Colors range from hues of white, cream, tan, dark coffee brown, and blue. Avoid direct contact with cosmetics, perfume, hair spray, or any corrosive solutions. The luster is enhanced from frequent wear and contact with natural skin oils. Care for your fossil mammoth ivory with a soft cloth and store separately from other hard gemstones, and they will withstand the test of time.
*This ivory is a fossil and is legally traded worldwide.
