This well preserved Woolly Mammoth Thoracic Vertebra is considered to be in mint condition. The vertebral body is completely in tact, which is often not the case with these ancient bones. This bone is about 35.000 years old and the coffee colour tells us that it was found in the North Sea.  The Woolly Mammoth is an icon of the last Ice Age and a piece of it can’t be missed in any collection. To us, this vertebra on a stand looks like pure art.  This bone, will give you an idea of how large these Thoracic Vertebrae, Wooly Mammoth, The Wooly, Ice Age, North Sea, Coffee Colour, Mint Condition, Bones, Ancient

Humans are very much drawn to Quartz crystals and it is said that mountain crystals have many healing and cleansing properties. And to be honest they look magical.  To make sure that this cluster gets the attention that it deserves, we put it on a handmade, brass stand.

Ow Nature you’re the best. This Disk Coral starts its life attached to a rock. But later in life it starts to live free. That’s right, it actually rips itself of the rock, because it wants to wander around. You can even see the ‘scar’ on the bottom of the disk.  Marvel at it. We put it on a handmade, brass stand.

The rose petals of this rock formation are actually crystals with sand grains trapped inside.  They are formed underneath the Tunisian Desert by precipitation and appear by erosion.  In other words; it takes an eternity to make this rose bloom.  A handmade, brass stand makes this rose pop.

Even in the worst condition, complete Woolly Rhino Limb bones are highly uncommon. But this specimen is one of the finest you will ever come across. It has even been on display before in a museum (hence the drilling hole). These 80.000 to 20.000 year old bones are sometimes found beneath the ocean floor in the North Sea, but almost never in this condition. Read more...

Coprolite is fossilised sh*t, many millions of years old sh*t. Don’t expect the number two of a T-rex, though. This is a little sh*t. Not smelly of course, that would be impossible, because this sh*t is millions of years old, and the bacteria that cause the sh*tty smell are long gone. Read more...

Ever seen a Leopard with a face full of Porcupine Spines? Funny right? These Rodents are slow and quite bulky but they are armed to the teeth. A fully grown Porcupine can have up to 30.000 spines on his back and butt. First they rattle them, to scare off a predator, but if that doesn’t work, they attack, butt first. Read more...

Once the Sawfish was considered to be highly dangerous to humans, it was thought they could sink ships and cut people in half. While it is easy to imagine why these creatures where considered to be monsters, it is not true of course. But, they still catch some very large specimens every once in a while, with Rostrums of 2 meters and longer. Read more... Dangerous, Monsters, Catch, Sink, Creatures, Half, True

Now a days, it is common sense, that Columbus was certainly not the one who discovered ‘The New World’. It were the Aliens… kidding, it were the Vikings. This tough Germanic tribe was able to navigate the vast Atlantic ocean 500 years before Columbus, without any nautical inventions. But Archaeologists did find pieces of a curtain mineral stone in Viking shipwrecks. They found slices of Iceland Spar. Read more...

Pyrite is a very common mineral, but there is one kind of Pyrite which is very rare. The Pyrite Dollar or the Pyrite Sun or better yet the Miners Dollar. They are found in an old coal mine, a hundred meters under the surface of Sparta Illinois. But they can hardly be found anymore, and without any new mining operations, the chances are small that they will be found again. Read more...

The Planetary Science Institute, estimates that probably 500 meteorites reach the surface of Earth every year, but only 10 are recovered… Here’s one. And it’s in one piece and quite large. This lil fella, was minding his own business for 4,6 bilion years when it was suddenly bumped out of the Kuipers Belt. Of all the directions it could have gone, it was directed towards Earth.

Now, this a mysterious rock. We bought it in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. After researching, we discovered it goes by a lot of names: Night Pearl, Sea Ghost Stone, Sacred Buddha Stone, Mook Ratri and even Glowing Jade. It is used for making holy pendants, carved or raw like this one and is being mentioned in 2500 year old scriptures. Read more...
