whale vertebra

Whale vertebra stabilized. Amazing texture. Pair scales

During processing, holes may appear, since the vertebra has a porous texture and the cells of the structure do not communicate with each other. After shaping, it must be blown with air, covered with CA glue or epoxy resin and sanded.

Whale vertebra is a rare and fascinating fossil material prized by collectors, artists, and makers for its natural beauty, intricate structure, and connection to prehistoric marine life. These vertebrae are sourced from ancient whale remains and reflect centuries of geological transformation. Due to the naturally porous and delicate nature of fossil bone, each piece of whale vertebra undergoes a professional stabilization process involving vacuum resin impregnation. This treatment reinforces the internal structure, reduces porosity, and enhances durability, making the material easier to work with and more reliable during cutting, shaping, sanding, and finishing.

Key features and applications:

• Genuine whale vertebra with authentic fossil character and natural variation
• Stabilized using vacuum and resin for improved strength, moisture resistance, and stability
• Unique organic patterns, textures, and fossilized growth lines that make each piece one-of-a-kind
• Excellent for artistic carving, sculpture, and decorative accents
• Ideal for custom handles, inlays, pendants, and museum-quality display pieces
• Polishes beautifully to reveal depth, color variation, and natural bone structure
• Enhanced workability compared to untreated bone, minimizing cracking and chipping

Whale vertebra offers an extraordinary combination of prehistoric origin, visual appeal, and reliable performance, making it a standout choice for artisans and collectors seeking materials with rich history and unique aesthetics. Whether used in decorative art, jewelry, or bespoke handles, whale vertebra elevates every creation with its natural beauty and distinctive fossil character.
