Dinosaur Bone (Gem Bone) 1911 Grips 

Dinosaur bone grips — also called gem bone or agatized dinosaur bone — are crafted from fossilized dinosaur bone in which the original bone structure has been replaced by colorful silicate minerals over 65+ million years. The result is a material with vivid reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues — while still showing the ancient cellular structure of the bone.

Meteorite 1911 Grips

Our meteorite grips are crafted from genuine iron meteorite — most commonly Gibeon or Muonionalusta — which reveals the iconic Widmanstätten crystalline pattern that formed as the meteorite cooled over millions of years in outer space.

Walrus Tusk 1911 Grips
