Narwhal Items Added Regularly!

Narwhals, the mysterious unicorns of the sea, live in the Arctic Ocean and grow to about 18' (not including the tusk). The males grow an elongated tooth that spirals out clockwise to form a tusk reaching 9' in length. This ivory tusk has been attributed with the creation of the unicorn legends. The tusks have a small hollow that runs nearly the full length, the ivory has no grain or core like elephant, mammoth or walrus but looks more like sperm whale ivory with a pencil sized hollow. Narwhals have been a protected species since 1972 and importation is prohibited. We have a selection of old tusks for sale that were imported in the mid-1900s and are legal to sell anywhere in the U.S. (with the exception of New Jersey). These are extremely rare if you can find one. Now is your opportunity to own the rarest, most mysterious, unique and beautiful of the ivories and at a reasonable price. We can make a wood base of beautiful maple burl or you can stand it in a corner without a base or hang it on the wall. ( Available only if the tusk is purchased from us.) Call for current Narwhal tusk selection. All of our Narwhal ivory predates the 1972 marine Mammal Protection Act and is exempt from the restrictions. Much of our narwhal was bought from the J. L. Houston before they closed their doors forever and we buy narwhal ivory from individuals that provide an affidavit. The required statement from the seller is: To the best of my knowledge and belief this narwhal ivory predates the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act. David Boone-Boone Trading Company.
