The woolly mammoth lived during the last Ice Age and were about the size of an Asian elephant, growing more than 11 ft. tall. Mammoths became extinct about 4,000 years ago, but they thrived for more than half-a-million years throughout North America before their habitat was reduced to Alaska and Siberia

Because mammoth ivory has been in the earth for so long, it absorbs the various colors of its surroundings, including vivianite, a mineral common in the Alaskan soil. Once unearthed, tusks can be cream, tan, brown, green, and even blue, which is very rare.

When people purchase mammoth ivory, they are buying a piece of history and sharing in the preservation of a long-extinct icon.
