10.8 cm polished colorful tooth of megalodon shark

The 10.8 cm polished tooth of the Megalodon has a fascinating play of colors and wide color spectrum due to the polishing.

Shark teeth are polished if they show damage when found, such as a blunt tip, severely worn serrations or chipping in the enamel, the top layer. Polishing succeeds in revealing the unique colorations and structures that the surrounding rock and the minerals it contains have given off in the fossilization process. Depending on the type and strength of light incidence, different fascinating color shades and patterns can be seen.
