Carved Ostrich Eggs - intricately carved by an Arizona artist. great to display, and if you're electrically inclined they make nice lamps.
Ostrich Feather Computer Dusters - a practical item amongst all these wants-not-needs; ostrich feathers pick up dust rather than just moving it around, and these are the perfect desk size. $20 each.

The Elephant Bird (Aepyornis maximus), a 10-foot, 1,000 pound ratite, lived in Madagascar until the natives ate them all around 1,000-1500 AD. Pieces of fossilized eggshell are still being found, and we found some (in Tucson, not in Madagascar) to offer to you.
Elephant Bird Eggshell - Pieces average 1" square in total; nicely packaged, great for show-and-tell. $10 each
Elephant Bird Mosaic - We acquired this pieced-together egg probably 12 years ago. Back then a company in Czechoslovakia - back when there was a Czechoslovakia - used to sell these mosaic eggs in Tucson, but now they are a thing of the past. All elephant bird eggshell pieces, but not all from the same egg. $2,000.
Cast Elephant Bird Egg on Display Stand - Extraordinary 4' Bone Clones cast of an Aepyornis leg and foot skeleton, holding a cast elephant bird egg. On a wooden base. $790

For the bunny-minded, we have some small Mata Ortiz pots hopping with charming rabbits. $40 - $75. And we have Laura Zindel dishware with more realistic depictions of lagomorph life here. (Chipmunks pretending to be rabbits don't count.)
Green Man Carved in Bluestone - the famous Pagan symbol of rebirth and fertility carved in the kind of stone used in parts of Stonehenge. From the U.K. $30

Alligator Bone Knives - Get 'em while we've got 'em. As of January 2020 we will no longer be able to sell alligator materials here in California. Why? You may ask, since they're raised on farms, and people eat the meat and wear gator skin belts and boots...Well, as Ron used to say, there's no reason, it's just a law. So, buy the last of the knives, heads, skulls, feet, and backscratchers - all wonderfully nostalgic Bone Room stuff - while ye may.

The Bone Room Amber Room is an online store, dedicated mainly to inclusions in amber. Note that though the site is already extensive, it's only the beginning, as we have only just started to catalog the collection of amber (and copal, and burmite, and amber jewelry) we have to offer. We hope you will return from time to time to keep an eye on additions and developments.
We have designed the website so that the customer can search by insect order or by type of amber. Please note that most pieces are illustrated by several photos; click on a specimen to see more details about that piece.

Ron Cauble, founder of The Bone Room, was obsessed with inclusions in amber. At Fossil and Mineral Shows he would typically be found seated at an amber dealer's booth, a great pile of amber pieces before him, peering through a loupe at the world inside each piece.
Over the years, some of the pieces were sold to collectors and scientists (most notably, to George Poinar, recognized amber expert and author) - but Ron was always a better collector than salesman, and his collection grew to museum backroom proportions.
Finally we are getting a good start on cataloging and photographing his enormous collection of amber and copal, and offering this work of love and obsession to the public. We think Ron would approve.
