Mammoth Molar Pendants

There are 2 pendants.
Please state LEFT or RIGHT when placing interest in this thread then to PM.

Tapering from 13-15mm x 30-35mm and 5mm thick sections of Mammoth molar sanded down to 2500 grit on a flat granite surface, hung on 1m of black cotton braid with buffalo horn adjuster.

The left hand piece has the base of the enamel plate (used for grinding the mammoths food) visible with pale green and blue speckles captured within. This disappears when turned over. The back has a lovely deep swirling milky pattern. The right hand piece is deeper still from the tooth and exhibits the multi toned swirls front and rear.

The Molar sections are a natural product, thousands of years in the making they, as such are all different and some cracks are evident in the photos...although the pendants have survived being cut, filed, abraded and handled by astonished relatives without detriment to the pendants.

Gorgeous colour, pattern, Paypal fees and recorded royal mail delivery £15 each (Both Sold)This applies to UK addresses, other arrangments can be requested.


Thanks for looking.

Bump...... now £12.50 These do look lovely and glassy in person. If the cracks are an issue I can inject cyanoacrylate then polish the faces again, but to be honest they should not need it. Regards, Mojo

Im sure Im missing something obvious here........ but I would have thought a Mammoths tooth would be much much bigger?

It's that white outline in the middle that's confusing. Is it encased in marble, or is the whole pendant all tooth?

 

[Mojoracinguk]

Yup the whole tooth is biiiiiiig.....much bigger than I could hang on a piece of 1mm cord.

The piece I was working is a slice, cross section of the tooth.The white is the enamel plates that run vertically up the tooth....the brown swirly stuff is the matrix that holds the plates together......if you read up on mammoth teeth, this brown material is worn away by the chewing action.....leaving the white enamel proud thus being able to grind vegetation.

In the picture you show a tooth and the top of the tooth is the dark black section opposite side to the hand.

Hope this helps.....where did you get that pic....is it yours?

[mrcairney]

ooh, nice work mojo. I wear mine every day

 

[Dave]

. No, no...Just swiped it off google. Thanks for the clarification. Would they make good key fobs?

 

[Mojoracinguk]

Glad to hear it mrcairney......hope all is well.

Dave, I would not personally use them as key fobs, as the keys would end up scratching or chipping away at the material as they jingle around......even metal key fobs can look rough after a while.

I was told not to soak the tooth when working it as well so best not used as a fishing lure either

Nice chatting with you all.
