How to choose the right mammoth tusk

Choosing a mammoth tusk comes down to four things: size, preservation, colour and whether it is mounted. Bigger, more complete and more richly coloured tusks command higher prices, so decide what matters most to you before you buy.

Size drives both impact and cost. A small or baby tusk is an affordable, characterful entry point; a large curved tusk over two metres is a commanding centrepiece. Preservation matters next: a complete, uncracked tusk with minimal restoration is worth far more than a repaired or partial one. Colour and patina add value too, the rare blue patina, caused by the mineral vivianite, is especially prized. Finally, a mounted tusk on a custom stand is display-ready, while an unmounted one gives you freedom to mount it your way.
