September already!? Yet it feels the same as much of the rest of the year...
We have some new puzzles to while away the time - jellyfish, honeybee and butterfly puzzles that are attractive and challenging. We also have a new jellyfish poster...found here.

Of course the actual corona virus microbe is not as cute - or as huge - as the Giant Microbe version, but it's kind of nice to have a plushy stuffed version of the virus to contemplate. We also have attractive face masks that go with any outfit, and talismanic keychains.
We are resurrecting these lichen necklaces for fall. A lichen is not a plant, not a fungus - it's not even an autonomous lifeform. It's a partnership - a combination of two organisms which come together in 'mutualistic symbiosis'. The lichen is mainly fungal filaments, though it looks nothing like its 'parent' fungus, but there are also algal/cyanobacterial cells intimately involved. The fungus and the algae or cyanobacteria may each exist independently, but when they join forces they create a new organism which is neither this nor that.
These are Bosnian lichens in resin pendants, and we're discounting them - they were $25, now $15.

Viking and Celtic Artifacts - Vikings, frankly, were everywhere - but most of the Viking material offered here comes from a site in Ireland, near Dublin, where the Vikings settled in around 800 AD. The Celts, of course, were already there - those Indo-European peoples seem to have migrated to Ireland from Central Europe around 500 B.C., displacing the indigenous Bronze Age culture.

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.
