Fossil coral slice set 3.8 ounces
Fossil ocean coral set 3 ½ x 1 ½ x ¼ inches. Stabilized coral that would be porous calcium, treated to be hard for knife handle material or jewelry. Very unique interesting pattern. Can be worked like a hard wood or soft stone without diamond tools. Somewhat hard but I’d back it when working it even if temporarily. A little heavy like stone so keep that in mind. The advantage of fooling with something new like this is a top finished unique product. Could be cut for cabs in rings pendants etc. For knives could be also end caps guards inlays not just full handle.
Fossil mammoth ivory set .7 ounces
Sold out
Fossil mammoth ivory set 2 ½ x 1 x 1/16th inches. All natural #1 grade light enough this could be scrimshawed. Deep colors, greys, hints of soft blues. Good for folder, art, or inlays. off Kantishna River (near Denali) in Alaska
Mammoth ivory chunk white 8.5 ounces
Fossil mammoth ivory single piece 5 ¼ x 3 inches (slight taper min 3 to max 3 /12) Half an inch think take or minis a 16th. (slight variation) Great for single major scrimsaw piece as this stands on its own. But could be split for large knife scales with some left over. Even several sets if thickness split in half. Would work for beads, pen turning, carving lots of potential uses. This is all white fairly solid. Some light restoration where this wanted to delaminate at one edge. Normal for something from the ice age. No soft spots, it will all take a shine. This is interior Alaska material I find myself. Look at my youtube channel link on this site for how where I find this material and some tips on how to work it if needed. Note the curve, so my guess is not suited for pistol grips.
