Welcome to The Bone Room Online
LAST NEWSLETTER OF 2024
Just a few more things before we have to start all over in January...
We have a *sale!* on one of our most popular animal skulls - beaver skulls, traditionally $30, are now only $20 each until the end of the year (or until we run out of beaver skulls). Just wanted to remind you...
2,000-year-old Roman Glass from ancient trash heaps in Afghanistan; the Romans exported their glass-making techniques wherever the materials were readily available, and apparently sandy Afghanistan became a huge manufacturing center. We have imperfect bottles and jars, as well as beads and pendants made of the broken scraps. A wonderful way to touch the past.
Ukrainian Jewelry...Let us not forget our friend in Ukraine who uses spent ammunition cartridges to cast metal jewelry based on local archaeological finds. Beautiful jewelry with a story, and with heart.
From Tibet (we believe), these Fish Earrings are charming little representations, studded with semi-precious stones.
From the same area come these Adjustable Rings imprinted with a prayer for peace in mysterious script.

Vials full of animal teeth - miscellaneous North American mammal teeth in a sturdy 3" glass vial. Excellent stocking stuffers!
We also have quite a large stock of Laura Zindel ceramics - beautiful nature-inspired dinnerware, worthy of display, but tough enough for use.

Mineral Stocking Stuffers, if albeit a bit heavier. Hand held sized of labradorite, agate, carnelian, amethyst and yooperlite (reacts beautifully in blacklight).
Real carved Orca teeth. Under normal circumstances something like this could never be sold, because Killer Whales like all other sea mammals are federally protected. There is a little carve out for items like this that have been worked into art by federally acknowledged Native Americans. Sam Dimmick's work is always a pleasure to see. Not an item we are likely to have again. Each is signed by the artist.
Gift Certificates
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.
