Bone
A collective term for vertebrate bone material; GB/T 16552-2017 clause 5.1.1 b) allows naming directly by the material-science name, and the species and any treatment must be recorded. This page compares how the major standards and institutions name it, what must be disclosed when selling it, whether it can be worn every day, how it is treated and identified, and which source each conclusion comes from.
Price, rarity and origin are outside the scope of this wiki.

Material research: formation, causes and history
What authoritative sources say about how this material forms, what causes its colour and optical effects, where its name comes from and how people have used it. Each statement carries an evidence grade and its sources; it describes the material in general, not any specific piece.
How it forms
Bone is the mineralised hard-tissue material of vertebrates, an organic material of animal origin. In CIBJO's Gemstone Book, organic substances are substances derived from animals or plants and are regarded as gemstones when used in jewellery; animal-origin materials such as ivory are listed, and bone belongs in this group, with the species and any treatment having to be recorded. None of the cited sources is an authority specific to how 'bone' forms; one cited source (GIA's study of mammoth ivory) shows that an analogous vertebrate mineralised tissue (ivory/dentine) is made up chiefly of hydroxyapatite, carbonate hydroxyapatite and collagen. This entry therefore offers an analogue-based composition note for bone and marks a gap in bone-specific formation sourcing.
Scope: Applies to the classification and naming of bone as an organic material of animal origin; formation content specific to bone is treated as a source gap, and its composition is described only by analogy with vertebrate mineralised tissue.

Where it forms
Within vertebrates — bone is a mineralised hard tissue grown in the body.
Sources CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022
(Gap) The cited sources provide no bone-specific formation/burial setting.
Sources CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022 · G&G Summer 2023
How it forms, step by step
(Analogue) Vertebrate mineralised hard tissue is based on a collagen-dominant organic matrix.
Sources G&G Summer 2023
(Analogue) The inorganic phase (hydroxyapatite, carbonate hydroxyapatite) is deposited within the organic matrix.
Sources G&G Summer 2023
As a material, bone is often bleached, dyed, waxed or resin-impregnated, and the species and treatment must be recorded.
Sources CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022
Link to appearance
The cited sources do not describe bone's appearance specifically; species and treatment change colour and texture, so no appearance-genesis link is asserted.

Timescale
No source, so no timescale is stated.

Other research findings
Bone is the mineralised hard-tissue material of vertebrates and an animal-origin organic material; under CIBJO nomenclature, animal-origin organic materials (e.g. ivory) require the species and treatment to be recorded.
Evidence grade AScope: Defines bone's material category and naming requirements; no specific formation content.
Sources CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022
CIBJO's Gemstone Book counts organic substances—materials that originate from animals or plants—as gemstones when they are used in jewellery.
Evidence grade AScope: States the classification of organic substances; not bone's specific composition.
Sources CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022
(Analogue) The analogous vertebrate mineralised tissue (mammoth ivory/dentine) consists mainly of hydroxyapatite, carbonate hydroxyapatite and collagen, with hydroxyapatite as the dominant inorganic phase.
Evidence grade BScope: The composition is for the analogous vertebrate tissue (ivory/dentine), not direct bone evidence; used as the closest authority.
Sources G&G Summer 2023
The cited sources provide no authority specific to the formation of 'bone', so the bone-specific formation content is a gap.
Evidence grade AScope: Explicitly flagged as a source gap; composition is analogue only.

Limits of this research
- Research status: No authoritative source specific to this material was found; findings come from the parent material or are marked as gaps
- No authoritative source dealing specifically with how bone forms was found, so the formation of bone has no source of its own behind it.
- The composition note is cited from the GIA mammoth-ivory study used in W10B, an analogue of vertebrate mineralised tissue, not direct bone evidence.
- Bone is often bleached/dyed/waxed/resin-impregnated, so species and treatment must be recorded. Commercial-gem-shop and content-farm sources were excluded.

Answer at a glance
Bone (general material) is often subjected to impregnation. Under GB/T 16552-2017, impregnation is graded by the material used, and must be stated in the name wherever it counts as a treatment (§5.4.1, Table 1). Do not assume it is unenhanced.

Care and wear
Normal care for every gemstone (CIBJO Gemstone Book §6.1), in brief:
- Handle it gently.
- Store pieces apart when not worn, so they cannot scratch each other.
- Clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
- Use ultrasonic cleaners only with caution.
The §6.1 wording and the full list of §6.2 special-care letters cited on this page are on the general gem care page.
Care
Bone — care (cleaning): Some stones are susceptible to damage from ultrasonic cleaning. Do not expose them to ultrasonic cleaning.

Common care questions and matching entries
CleaningCare of Bone: the CIBJO Blue Book — Official Gemstone Book states that, in any treatment state, Bone must not be cleaned ultrasonically. LightOnly for dyed or surface-waxed Bone: it may fade or revert to its original colour in strong light, so do not wear or leave it in strong light for long periods. ChemicalsOnly for dyed, impregnated or surface-waxed Bone: dyeing, oiling, resin impregnation, waxing and plastic impregnation are not permanent, so keep it away from all solvents (including all detergents), chemicals and high heat; bleached, dyed or surface-waxed Bone is porous, so keep it away from coloured liquids; untreated Bone is also porous, so keep it away from coloured liquids. In any treatment state, Bone dissolves on contact with solvents such as nail-polish remover, so keep it away from all solvents and other strong chemicals. WearBone is soft and scratches easily, so wear it with care. AGTAThe AGTA Gemstone Information Manual, 17th edition, states that bleached, artistically dyed or colourless-paraffin-impregnated Bone needs special care (marked SC): avoid chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning, and it may change colour over time.

Treatments and identification leads
Registered treatmentsThe treatments registered for Bone are surface waxing, impregnation, dyeing and bleaching. Stability and frequencySurface waxing has the status treated, an unstable effect and occasional market prevalence; impregnation has the status treated, an unstable effect and common prevalence; dyeing has the status treated, an unstable effect and occasional prevalence; bleaching has the status treated, a stable effect and common prevalence. Stability refers to whether the effect of that treatment lasts, not to how durable Bone itself is. Values not givenThe identification leads and sources for surface waxing, impregnation, dyeing and bleaching are all marked “—”, meaning the cited source gives no value, not “none”.

Whether a treatment has to show in the name differs between the two rule sets (this site’s paraphrase):
- GB/T 16552—2017: a method classed as treatment has to be stated in the name itself — the method put before the name, or added in brackets after it; a method classed as optimization does not need to appear in the name, though one marked “Optimization (annotation required)” still has to be noted in the quality documents. Source: §5.4.2.1 a), b); §5.4.2.2 a)
- CIBJO Gemstone Book 2022: no longer splits treatments into ones that need specific disclosure and ones that need only general disclosure: every treatment is to be disclosed, and the seller tells the buyer which treatment was used and what special care it calls for.

Names
Chinese standard nameThe GB/T 16552—2017 mineral or material name for Bone is bone; it is not listed in Annex A, and GB/T 16552—2017 allows a material-science name to be used directly. Trade and mineralogical namesIts mineralogical name is vertebrate skeletal material, with species and treatment to be recorded. Recommended listing nameThe suggested listing name is Bone (stating species and treatment). Institution usageAmong authority wordings, CIBJO lists Bone (CIBJO Gemmological Laboratories Book 2024); the FTC source text has no wording for this name (checked); GIA and Gem-A have not been checked. Bodies without a recorded wording show the entry's own English name, which does not represent their position. The qualifier separated from the title name is general material for GIA, Gem-A and FTC, taken from the entry's own English name.

What it is and how it's identified
Among the registered material facts for Bone, composition (phase) is apatite. Mohs hardness is registered as 2.5, but the only sample measured was cow bone; a site qualification states that 2.5 is the value measured on a cow bone sample, not a value for bone in general, and that the hardness of bone varies with the animal species, the part of the body and the water content. The site qualification also states that the cited report measured hardness only and says nothing about toughness or stability; a site general note points out that hardness alone is not enough to judge durability. Treatment stability is registered treatment by treatment: treated surface waxing is unstable, treated impregnation is unstable, treated dyeing is unstable, and treated bleaching is stable. Treatment stability describes whether the effect of a treatment lasts, not whether Bone itself is durable; a site general note states that the registered content does not add up to a complete durability conclusion.

Testing and market
For Bone, the CIBJO laboratory protocol requires dyeing and impregnation to be checked in particular. No synthetic counterpart of Bone is on the market. Among Bone on the market, impregnation and bleaching occur with a prevalence of “common”, while surface waxing and dyeing occur with a prevalence of “occasional”. The registered treatments for Bone are surface waxing, impregnation, dyeing and bleaching. In identifying Bone, the treatments to check in particular are dyeing and impregnation.
The tests the CIBJO laboratory protocol requires for this material, and what each method means, are in the protocol table on the laboratory testing page: §6.2.2.
