Woolly Mammoth Carved Fossil Ivory Arrowhead Pendant

Each arrowhead begins as a fragment piece of woolly mammoth tusk bark — the outer layer of the tusk — hand carved into a form that echoes something ancient and intentional. I think humans used broken pieces of ivory to make all sorts of tools. They could use friction on rocks, sand and hard wood to burnish and shape to finish. The mineralization from thousands of years in Alaskan permafrost gives this fossil ivory its signature palette: blues, greens, warm caramel, ivory, and rich brown. One of one.

This piece is set with .925 sterling silver bale and hangs as a finished pendant, ready to wear. Length 2.25"

The fossil ivory was sourced by The Boneyard Alaska — the largest private megafauna bone and tusk collection in the United States, and among the top five in the world. The Boneyard was uncovered in the Goldstream Valley of Alaska by John and Ramona Reeves, whose family continues to discover and gather these remarkable Ice Age materials. The remains found here — from animals that weren't expected this far north — have drawn scientific curiosity from researchers around the world.

No modern animals are harmed. These are the remains of Ice Age megafauna, extinct for thousands of years, ethically sourced from private Alaskan land.
