Fossils by pound #1 grade

$300.00 $150.00

This is for material I have but is not listed. I often have 300 pounds on hand but only 20 pounds listed. I sell volume, 100 pounds at a time at the Tucson fossil show, I'm the source, I find it. I often have no time to list. However I may have what you want. Another 'however.' I may not have time to offer a private showing, and if so, shop time is $60 an hour, so hard to offer deals this way.


So If you want the best price, maybe know me, dealt with me, trust my judgement,,I can do the best I can to pick out material without the cost of time- with individual pictures- descriptions- measurements. If you do no like what I send, it can be returned. Money talks. I take you seriously. I'll stop what I am doing to go look.


Pictures shown are examples of what can be had. The deal is not "I want one just like that!" 'That' has a picture, once a description, probably sold for $300 a pound. I might have something of the same quality, This is an option I offer. Example, spend the $150 and note me, "Need material for scrimshaw work, larger white display pieces over 3 inches." I can email back if I have further questions. At worse refund your money if I just cant help you. I also have a $50 to $75 a pound option - at the top of the special fossils page.

Mammoth fossil ivory scraps $50 to $75 lb

$50.00 - $75.00

Scraps sold by the weight, one pound. Three grades to choose from. Scrim is light color solid good for scrimshaw or where light ivory pendant size is required. This has been high graded from the general scrap pile so cost more. Second choice is good quality scrap with color for jewelry use. I'm thinking pendants, earrings, but good for inlay, possible knife guards end caps pens etc. This may have sought after blue, but for sure darker, not as good for scrimshaw.  First two choices $75 lb. about $1 to $2 each. Third choice is lower grade B scraps. $50 a pound. Some grade B could be necklaces, jewelry but much is soft, maybe long and skinny, or for some reason did not end up in the quality pile. Maybe some got overlooked and a few quality pieces arrive. These make good free samples to give away, or for education, smaller inlays etc. Buying by the weight as scrap is a good way to aquire affordable smaller pieces. On the scrim and jewlery grades, expext 30 to 40 pieces per pound.  The $50 a pound are samples, you sort it out, about 50 cents each. If unable to order (this seems a complicated feat for my web site- all the choices!) Email me and I can send a pay pal request! All I know is, I have usually over 100 pounds of ivory with no time to photo and list each pound. Nor time to answer questions all day long. Dilema. The less I have to do the better the price.

Fossil mammoth ivory polished chunk for display or scrimshaw

$181.00

A free standing polished piece of mammoth ivory 6.1 ounces 5 x 3 x ¾ inches. Free-standing polished ready for display or to be scrimshawed or other art added. Could possibly. Be cut for knife scales but the concept I had in mind is free standing display. This is #1 grade with blues in it. All natural very nice looking as is display. A light tan, keep in mind for a scrim project s not pure white but I think scrimshaw will show up nice on this. Price reflects the high quality. Other pieces I have sell for less, not as big or nice.

Fossil mammoth ivory chunk, best grade 18 ounces

$520.00

Fossil mammoth ivory polished piece 4 ½ inch’s tall x 4 inches wide x 1 to 1 3/3 inches thick. An exceptional piece, quality is as good as it gets. A grade above #1 is called ‘gem grade’ often sold by the gram. The combination of blue dot specks and alligator patterning makes this stand out. I include a few pictures because each shows a different slight aspect of color and character as the light changes. My plan when I started polishing was to create a display piece to stand up and look at. I realized when done there is enough material here for a set of pistol grips. One pictures show this piece next to one of my black powder pistols about the size grips a Ruger Blackhawk has to get a view of what to expect. A window could be sanded for scrimshaw work. Jewelry work can be made. All kinds of ideas possible for this exceptional one of a kind #1 grade piece that is over a pound. Price high, this is very high end rarely seen, so it cost. Out of a thousands of pounds, this is the best pound. As pistol grips, this would be a jaw dropper.  (gosh I read this and might not want to sell it now! Ha!)

Fossil mammoth ivory chunk for slicing 1.5 ounces

$46.00

Mammoth fossil ivory chunk for carving slicing into earrings – pendants etc. A cube 2 x 1 ½ x 1/2 inches. Dyed stabilized colors all the way through. Guessing about 4 sets of earrings, 8 slices. This cuts like wood. Do not get wet while cutting, do not get hot while sanding. Otherwise it works like wood. I’d use a sealer when done no varnish! Even a furniture lemon oil or wax helps it look nice. Thin superglue works nice.

Mammoth ivory for jewelers 8 cut polished

$160.00 $120.00

Ice age fossil mammoth ivory polished pieces. 8 separate pieces – total of 8.2 ounces. These used to be knife scale sets but have no match so are singles, good for pendants, crafts carving inlays etc. Possibly knife scales for pocket knives ir end caps guards, but I was thinking jewelers for pendants. Sizes but minimum 2 ½ x 1 x 1/16th to over 3 x 1 ½ x 1/4th inches. Each should make at least two generous size large pendants. All are #1 grade top gem class colors with blues and top patterning. Prices are much less than getting finished cabs. Cut your own cabs or custom freeform. One top cab from this can be worth the price of the entire batch. (check out my other prices for sets and formed pieces and finished art made from this material.)  This is a wholesale price for jewelers.
