Bead of fossil mammoth tooth
Unusual bead made for fossil mammoth tooth. 1 1/2 x 1/2 inches. Meant to br an accent swingle bead alone or accented. I have more may make more but hard to get mammoth teeth stable enough for beads and is a hard material to work, it takes diamond tools. This material has been died blue and stabilized, but can have the4swe colors naturally, just more expensive. Has a hole so it can be strung.
Fossil mammoth tooth large
Sold out
Fossil mammoth tooth 4.9 pounds. 8 inches long x 3-2 ½ inches wide. A large tooth. Some is missing, but shows good chewing surface, good roots, is solid enough for display. No cracks. Has been stabilized and restored. Being about 50,000 years old , last ice age, 90% of all teeth will need some restoration. Ones that do not will be twice the price. This one could potentially be sliced up for those looking for sliceable material. Worth about $200 a slice, guessing this one could produce 10 slices. You need diamond tools and knowledge. I’m working on a you-tube video showing how to handle teeth, but not done yet. Honestly, I would cut this up myself if this were in worse shape! This one will make a nice display. I cut up the ‘junk’ after stabilizing more. Alaska teeth tend to have best colors. Some ‘north sea’ teeth cost less but were in salt water, and as such need soaking in water, which might crack them worse. Restoration does not work if there is salt present. Eventually the salt breaks them down. Thus, these Alaska teeth are sought after. Not easy to find on the market.

I use diamond tools to cut, but bandsaw works, it just may wear out my $14 blade working one project. Extremely beautify and desired but, hard to work. Wants to break along soft growth lines… If it breaks, somewhat easy to superglue and no show. Can be turned on lathe, carved. Can be used for inlay pendants etc.
