Mammoth Ivory

Mammoth ivory, a material of great historical significance and beauty, is derived from the tusks of woolly mammoths, prehistoric creatures that once roamed the vast, icy expanses of the Arctic. This exceptional substance comprises two distinct parts: the dense, rich core known as 'mammoth ivory,' and the outer layer, or 'mammoth bark,' which resembles the bark of a tree in its texture and function.

Mammoth ivory is distinguished by its rich patterning and varied coloration, ranging from creamy whites and pale yellows to deep browns. These colors and patterns are the result of minerals absorbed over millennia, adding to the material's unique character and appeal. Today, mammoth ivory is highly prized in the creation of luxury items, artistic carvings, and as handles for various tools and instruments, cherished for its beauty, rarity, and connection to a bygone era.
