NARWHAL IVORY
|
|
|
|
|
We have acquired some rare pre-ban narwhal tusk ivory. We are selling tusk sections for use as custom knife and cane handles, tusk cross cuts and tusks. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a tusk or piece of narwhal ivory. There isn't another company in the country selling narwhal ivory, and when it's gone it will be ... gone.
Please call for exact prices.

TUSKS
|
|
|
Narwhals, the mysterious unicorns of the sea, live in the Arctic Ocean and grow to about 18' (not including the tusk). The males grow an elongated tooth that spirals out clockwise to form a tusk reaching 9' in length. This ivory tusk has been attributed with the creation of the unicorn legends. The tusks have a small hollow that runs nearly the full length, the ivory has no grain or core like elephant, mammoth or walrus but looks more like sperm whale ivory with a pencil sized hollow. Narwhals have been a protected species since 1972 and importation is prohibited. We have a selection of old tusks for sale that were imported in the mid-1900s and are legal to sell anywhere in the U.S. and can also be shipped internationally. These are extremely rare and sell for as much as $20,000 if you can find one. Now is your opportunity to own the rarest, most mysterious, unique and beautiful of the ivories and at a reasonable price. We can make a wood base of beautiful maple burl or you can stand it in a corner without a base or hang it on the wall. We ship the tusks well packed in a 3" diameter PVC tube and there is a $25 packing fee to cover the materials cost. Call for current selection.

WALNAR CURIOSITY DISPLAY PIECE
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The Walnar Curiosity Display Piece is comprised of a rare Atlantic walrus skull and tusks (not the more common Pacific walrus) mounted on the top of a genuine ivory narwhal tusk. At the bottom is an ancient Pacific walrus skull that was excavated on St. Lawrence Island. It is from a walrus that was taken centuries ago by a Yupik Eskimo; the tusks were cut out of the skull with a slate blade, and the back of the skull was cracked open to remove the brain for food. The skull has turned brown due to centuries of burial and absorption of minerals from the arctic soil. The base is one solid piece of incredibly highly figured maple burl. In all likelihood the only one in the universe, easily worth $25,000, priced at just $9,000.
