The Fossilized Ivory used in Zealandia Designs is responsibly sourced and legal to both carve and own. This material can span tones from creamy white to honey, reddish brown to black depending on the length of time it was in the ground and the minerals it was in contact with. Many pieces feature fossilized walrus tusk ivory that is anywhere from 500 to 3000 years old. It is excavated  along the Bearing Sea coast of Alaska by Yupik Eskimo families. Another source of fossilized ivory is Ancient Mammoth Tusk. Plentiful until their extinction 15,000 years ago, our Mammoth Ivory is usually found by gold miners in Alaska and Canada.
