Ethical Sourcing
Our Commitment to Ethical Sourcing
At Ice Age Treasures, we are deeply committed to ethical and responsible sourcing of all materials. We want to be absolutely clear: no animals are harmed in the creation of our products.
Fossil Ivory: Ancient Materials, Not Modern Ivory
Our Woolly Mammoth Ivory is fossil ivory—ancient material from Ice Age mammoths that lived over 10,000 years ago. This is fundamentally different from modern elephant ivory:
- Age: Our mammoth ivory is fossilized material from extinct Ice Age animals, not from any living or recently living species
- Legal: Fossil ivory is completely legal to buy, sell, and own internationally
- Ethical: No animals are harmed, hunted, or poached to obtain these materials
- Conservation-friendly: Using fossil ivory provides a sustainable alternative to modern ivory and helps reduce demand for elephant ivory
Sourcing from the Boneyard Alaska
We source our fossil materials from the Boneyard Alaska, a permitted private fossil site. All materials are:
- Legally and ethically excavated from permitted locations
- Authenticated as genuine Ice Age fossils
- Recovered through responsible paleontological practices
- Fully compliant with all federal, state, and international regulations
Our Promise
Every piece in our collection tells a story from deep time—a connection to the Ice Age that requires no harm to modern wildlife. We stand firmly against poaching and the illegal wildlife trade, and we're proud to offer beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces that honor both ancient history and modern conservation values.
If you have any questions about our sourcing practices or the materials we use, please don't hesitate to contact us.
