Welcome to The Bone Room Online
SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER
It's September - time, in the Bay Area, for the Solano Stroll. And then - the Denver Fossil Show! We're off to do some shopping...
Shofars from Israel...from ram to gemsbok and kudu, all these horns are fashioned to make a (joyful?) sound. Yes, they work. You know you want one.
Rough chunks of Brazilian Amethyst, cut so that they stand on their own.
Additions to our Archaeology section: a Buddha from Afghanistan, a virile Roman pendant, some 'new' coin pendants...
We found a few Piranhas hanging around. Please note we also have some defleshed versions.
And now for something slightly silly - pendulums of man-made stone. We're sure they're excellent for some purposes. They're quite pretty, anyway.
Celestial Stones - semi-precious stones made into marbles sized to represent the planets of our solar system, including poor Pluto.

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.
