FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER
Happy Darwin Day! February 12, the birthday of Darwin, Lincoln, and Ron Cauble, is around the corner, as is Valentine's Day. But don't panic, The Bone Room is here to help:
Smallish Darwin Bust - This 4.5 inch faux stone bust of Darwin features some of his favorite things around the base - lizards, a sea turtle, a snail shell, some primates. A charming reminder of the man who figured out how the world as it is came to be, this sculpture belongs in your natural history curiosity cabinet. Made in Bath, UK and now available through The Bone Room.
Heart Necklaces- Appropriate for Valentine's, or for the cardiac specialist, this silver-plated white bronze anatomically correct heart necklace has impressive weight and comes with a 24-inch chain - $90. For those of you who prefer the un-anatomical heart shape, we have these amber heart necklaces on an adjustable 24 inch cord for $5 each

We thought we would try out this line of drinking horns. We would occasionally get requests for these, and since we didn't have them, some people would resort to buying cow horns from us to make their own. We never heard back about how that turned out. But now - you don't need to worry about cleaning the inside of a cow horn because someone in India has done it for you. They are selling these as recreations of Viking Drinking Horns, but I'm sure they're appropriate for Renaissance/Medieval/Whatever. Because you probably don't want to be holding on to your horn while you're sawing at your venison and tearing hunks off your trencher, we also have iron cup holders - though they don't seem to be one-size-fits all, so we've appended them only to the cups they would work with.
Poor design on the part of the Vikings, I'm sure. |

And from the same India company, we picked up some bone dice. They are a little larger than the standard, about 10 cm (3/4 "). Quite attractive, slightly antiqued dice made, no doubt, from water buffalo bone. And from their Viking collection, we couldn't resist these reproductions of Viking ear picks. That's right - truly manly Q-tips. We should probably add a disclaimer, something about The Bone Room not being responsible for ear damage should you actually try to use these; we suspect they're more conversation starters than useful cosmetic implements.
We still have a lot of stock of Laura Zindel ceramic-ware, and so we are going to continue our 10% off sale for another month - take advantage of this opportunity to get these wonderful nature-inspired decor and gift items at a lower price than you'll find elsewhere.
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.
