These are all made one at a time hand done so will vary slightly. Contact me for large volume and more personal choices.

Mammoth ivory chunk 1 pound 12.9 ounces.

$495.00 $400.00
12 x 4 around the curve by ½ inches thick. Descent deep natural colors, but has delamination and one big crack issue.  Each delamination layer is stable and ¼ inch. Or could possibly restore stabilize to the full thickness if required. Crack takes an even 1 inch off the width. (an inch is a normal need for knife scales.)
Shop

fossil mammoth ivory scales 6.9 ounces

$120.00 $95.00
5 x 1.25 x 1/5 inch thick. Offered 'rough' no stable dye fillers. Thus it needs work. I did a rough polish in one spot on each side  to show you potential colors you can bring out. Back is curved. You can use filler spacer sand thinner to be flat. Lots of room longer wider thicker then normally offered for knife scales. Several options to choose from. Or these could be cut up for jewelry or other uses, end caps guards etc. Nice deep colors sold material. Does not look like it wants to delaminate. Cut from an inside curve, not as desirable usually as the outside curve, so value down a little.
