Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth Ivory Arrowhead
Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth Ivory Arrowhead
Arrowhead made with Woolly Mammoth Ivory from the Boneyard Alaska. All bark ivory is uniquely mineralized as it is the outer layer of the mammoth tusk. I work hard in order to not remove colorization or artifacts on a beautifully colored shard (a broken piece of tusk). This one has a nice chocolate milky brown blend of colors. Permafrost minerals and Vivianite will stain the bark layers and deeper cracks of mammoth tusk shards adding character, visible artifacts and a variety of colors.
As always made with gratitude for the Megafauna that lived and died in the Goldstream Valley, Alaska and discovered by John and Ramona Reeves, Owners of Fairbanks Gold Company and what is now the "Boneyard Alaska", the largest private Megafauna bone and tusk collection in the USA and among the top 5 collections in the world today. Other large collections are state owned by countries like Russia and China.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Enjoy it! Treat like a fine gemstone and fossil. Wooly Mammoth Ivory is porous and will naturally absorb your body oils which is a benefit as it is nourishing and enriches colors in ivory and creates a special unity. Handling and rubbing your ivory is also calming and meditative and inspiring. Avoid water and soaps and handle with care.
