Description
Enjoy this hand made fossilized walrus ivory pendant with silver bail.
Fossil walrus ivory is obtained from Native-owned St. Lawrence Island, a non-archaeological site. This site is found by the Yupik Natives. Sale of this material is a vital component to their continued survival. The age of the ivory is estimated to be 500-100,000 years old. Fossil ivory has color variations, which come from mineral contact while buried in the frozen tundra.
To care for your ivory, avoid extreme heat and cold and buff with a soft cloth.
Hand made by the Wassman family in Skagway, Alaska.

White Pass Summit & Yukon Suspension Bridge
*Exclusive tour and cruise ship friendly! Follow in the footsteps of the 1898 Gold Rush stampeders up the White Pass and into the Yukon! Start your adventure by traveling up the Klondike Highway while you take in the wildlife, waterfalls, glacier-covered mountains & views of the White Pass Railroad. Once into Canada (Province of British Columbia aka B.C.) you'll pass through the subarctic alpine tundra of the Tormented Valley, with views of Summit Lake. You'll continue through B.C. where you'll stop at Canada Customs (passports and vaccine cards are required) at Fraser B.C and the Yukon Territory. Photo opportunities will be available at the British Columbia and Yukon signs. Our featured stop is the Yukon Suspension Bridge, located in the remote British Columbia wilderness. This 200-foot-long bridge traverses the Tutshi River where you'll be able to spot a number of animals in their natural habitat. The roaring rapids below provide an amazing backdrop for photos & memories while on your Alaskan vacation. The Outdoor Interpretive Museum provides maps & guides to give you a better understanding of the region between Skagway & Whitehorse, with information on the First Nations & the stories of the Gold Rush as this part of the continent was settled.
