JULY NEWSLETTER
Summer is rushing by. I hope you're all getting enough outdoor time, enough sun, and enough relaxation. Here in The Bone Room we are still processing items from this year's Tucson Show, and from years gone by:
These imaginatively named mineral remnants, Amethyst Flowers, are chunks, slices or sheets of amethyst crystals that have been turned into instant decor by the attachment of an iron stand. Rather than the typical purple amethyst color, these specimens range from white to purplish-gray. Dramatic pieces for your shelf or desk, each is only $40.

Roman Legionary and Portrait Rings from the good old days of Roman rule...the legionary rings have been identified as to legion and leader, and therefore can be closely dated (note that one ring is a 'modern' (1800s) copy; it is identified as such); the portrait rings, with no script, are a little harder to identify with certainty, but we think we have the right prominent Roman nailed down. All these rings are wearable, and collectible.

Bacula (penis bones) have long been a Bone Room favorite. The fossilized (or mineralized) walrus versions are always impressive, but the one we have that has been turned into sculpture by an Eskimo artist has special appeal. And we found an assortment of wince-worthy pathological specimens, from the merely broken and healed (they lead rough lives, those raccoons) to frighteningly infection-ridden organs. Grab yours quickly, they're sure to go fast!
Found in the bowels of The Bone Room - these large, very heavy Moroccan marble bowls will hold Costco-sized boxes of fruit. Be aware that they will cost a lot to ship, though!

We got a new acrylic pendant with honeybees necklace in. They come with printed flowers as a background, and an adjustable cord; they're quite nice and, as always, absurdly inexpensive ($5 each!)

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.
