Lot Highlights
Rarity and Value
Despite its small size, this 2-gram fragment of mammoth ivory offers immense historical and aesthetic value. Fossilized over millennia, its layered bands of ivory and stone-grey echo the massive tusk from which it came. Miniature specimens of such color contrast and preservation are exceedingly rare, ideal for bespoke jewelry or as a curated relic of prehistory.
Discovery and Acquisition
Unearthed from frozen terrain where mammoths once roamed, this tiny tusk piece tells a story of survival through deep time. Formed during the last Ice Age, it has undergone natural fossilization through mineral absorption and compression. Chosen for its clean color bands and integrity, the piece offers a distilled essence of a vast, vanished beast.
Craftsmanship and Presentation
The tusk segment has been carefully trimmed, shaped, and polished by hand to a smooth, organic finish. Its surface reveals rhythmic striations—natural signatures of growth and age—transformed through skilled craftsmanship into a refined, tactile object. Its compact scale enhances its delicacy and makes it ideal for personal adornment or intimate contemplation.
Human Touch
This is not just a piece of fossil—it’s a whisper from the past, held in the palm of your hand. It speaks of the bond between ancient life and modern hands, shaped with care to honor the legacy it carries. A testament to both time and touch, it transforms silent history into something profoundly human.
