A Little History

Hello, and thank you for visiting my site.

I am Lee True Hulcher and I have been an Alaskan Ivory Carver, since 1987, with over 15,000 pieces of Jewelry made. (See Gallery)

Most of the Fossil Ivory I use is found in Alaskan Gold Mines, but some comes from Siberia or Canada as well.

There is a huge quantity of Mammoth Ivory found every year, and with the permafrost melting, it is just a matter of time before we lose this wonderful natural resource.

All of my jewelry is made from 100% legally obtained Fossil Ivories, and may contain Authentic Gemstones, raw Gold Nuggets, (from my own mine) or exotic woods from around the world.

The Fossil Ivory is naturally colored just the way it came out of the soil. The colors you see in the Fossil Ivory are from minerals that have absorbed into the material and stained it. The darker the Color, the older the piece.

Colors range from white to dark browns, some greens and even Bright Blues. The Blue is called Vivianite, and it is formed when there is a chemical reaction of Phosphorus and Calcium, found in the soil. When these two chemicals combine and mix with air, they rust the ivory blue.

The Mammoth Ivory ranges in age from 10,000 years old to over 300,000 years old. The older ivory is generally Mastodon and is a great rarity.

If you have questions or comments please feel free to drop me a line.
