They date all the way back to the last ice age (10,000-40,000 BP). Needless to say, this rare material is in itself very special. For that reason it also makes unique products even more special. Occasionally, tusks, molars and bones are found from these iconic mammoths.  All of the treatments stabilize the fossils with vacuum, high pressure and strong resins. These Fossils are commonly used for knife handle scales, pistol grips, jewelry, inlays, accessories and other precious objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-603bbde elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"603bbde\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMaterial properties and processing:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22eecc39 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22eecc39\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe fossils are not yet petrified. However they do contain natural minerals and are harder to work than non-fossil material. Raffir® Mammoth Ivory is the softest of the three. We recommend that you process it with normal tools for bone and horn. Our Raffir® Mammoth Bone is harder than the ivory. Yet, it is still processed with the same equipment. Finally, Raffir® Mammoth Molar is the hardest of the three because of its enamel layers. We recommend diamond tools for this. Alternatively, use tools for hard steel at low process speed if diamond tools are not available. We also recommend saturating the surface of all Raffir® Fossils with cyanoacrylics (Super Glue) after grinding followed by additional fine sanding and polishing for a smother and stronger result.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEach of these pieces is cut off of a larger piece of mammoth molar. The mammoth molar are first stabilized with resin, then cut and then each individual piece is cast in resin again. This produces a more durable material, however, this also results in resin on the outside of the block so each piece may require surface sanding in order to remove the resin from the surface before attaching to a handle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Raffir®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52090441203943,"sku":"MBB56","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/5075\/files\/mammoth-molar-block-blue-raffirr-fossils-mbb56-hobbies-creative-arts-raffirr-937716.webp?v=1779397234","url":"https:\/\/www.makermaterialsupply.com\/products\/mammoth-molar-block-blue-raffir-fossils-mbb56","provider":"Maker Material Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
