The Wooly Mammoth (mammuthus primigenius) is an ancient ancestor of the modern elephant that once roamed throughout Siberia and across the Bering Strait into North America. They became completely extinct at the end of the Pleistocene Period around 10,000 years ago and their remains have been perfectly preserved, locked deep in the frigid permafrost ever since. In recent years, the tusks from these prehistoric pachyderms are being incidently recovered as a result of gold and silver mining operations throughout the region. Recovered from their ancient resting place, tusks are then transported to cold storage facilities in Russia where they are processed and packed for shipping to an eager public worldwide. Siberian tusks are considered to be the highest quality available because the constant subzero temperatures prevent thawing of the permafrost, this in turn helps to prevent damage to these precious remnants of the past. It is truly astounding to realize that even after many thousands of years these rare and beautiful tusks are now available to modern Craftsman and Artisans alike!
Cut sections of "bark" from the exterior portion of the tusks.

Doc's Ivory Sales takes very seriously the international laws governing the sale and trade of ivory. We are in strict compliance with all CITES ( Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fuana and Flora) articles and regulations. Because Wooly Mammoth Ivory comes from a long extinct species it is NOT  banned from sale or usage and is 100% LEGAL for international sale and trade! Usage of this extinct material also helps to prevent the illegal explotation of the African Elephant!
