A truly exceptional material, the mammoth molar is extremely prized in cutlery. Having disappeared more than 10,000 years ago, mammoths are currently found in the permafrost (eternal frost) in Siberia. With global warming, these hostile lands are revealing, on the surface, remains of Mammoths in a perfectly preserved state.

Mammoth blue tusk fossil from Siberia. Rare fossil material taken from the outer bark of the tusk.
The blue color is the most popular in the world of beautiful cutlery.
It happens that part of the defense takes on natural blue-green hues due to the presence of an iron phosphate, vivianite.
Blue mammoth ivory remains one of the rarest and most difficult materials to collect. The crust, very hard, is the first layer of the tusk in contact with the ground.

Abalone shell (English name) or abalone shell (French name) has been a source of magic for thousands of years.
The abalone shell, or abalone, is a wonder of nature, raw and rough on the outside like rock, beautiful and shiny with very beautiful iridescent reflections on the inside.
It is used, among other things, in shamanic rituals for fumigation.
The shell symbolizes the ear of the sea, the latter being the most used in most Native American Nations.
This shell has several well-placed holes to promote ventilation and, in addition, is very heat resistant.
For some Nations, the abalone or abalone shell represents the great Goddess of the Pacific Ocean.
The use of an abalone shell, in addition to being a natural, unprocessed element, symbolizes the water element.
