Boneyard Alaska Woolly Mammoth - Marquis Cut Pendant | Fossil Ivory

The marquis shape suits fossil ivory well — the elongated form lets the natural grain and mineralization run the length of the piece, and this one does not disappoint. Ivory and caramel tones shift across the surface, the result of thousands of years beneath Alaskan permafrost rather than anything I did.

I hand carved and polished this from a small broken tusk fragment recovered by the Reeves family at The Boneyard Alaska in Fairbanks. The material dates 12,000–40,000 years old. It wears quietly — not flashy, just genuinely old and genuinely rare.

One piece. When it's gone, it's gone.
