This bear can come in a variety of materials. Fossilized Mammoth Ivory, and Hand Carved Bone.

Fossilized Mammoth Ivory: Ancient Mammoth tusk, plentiful until their extinction about 15,000 years ago, our Mammoth Ivory is usually found by gold miners in Alaska and Canada. The unique colors of this ancient ivory are created by minerals from the soil. This material is legal to carve and own. Due to the natural state of fossilized ivory, mammoth and walrus, clean only with a clean soft cloth. Care should be taken to not get black from the silver on the cloth as this can transfer to the ivory. Do not use jewelry cleaners, chemicals, soaps or detergents. Avoid extreme heat, moisture, and soaking.

Hand Carved Bone: The art of bone carving goes back to time immemorial. It is considered to be an important pre-historic art, which marks the domestication of human beings. It all started with using bones and ivory as hunting tools in prehistoric days. The bone may have been treated with natural dyes to enhance its singular beauty. Bone jewelry has been carefully carved and polished. Avoid contact with lotions, oils, extreme heat, moisture and soaking to help prevent dulling. Polish with a clean, soft white cloth. Do not use jewelry cleaners, chemicals, soaps, or detergents.
