4 3/8" Megalodon Shark ToothWhen I first found this tooth I was thrilled with the coloration - its one of the prettiest I've ever found. It has orange, white, red, yellow, and purple - yes purple! The only unfortunate thing was that the root was broken in numerous places. In fact, when I cleaned it, parts of it crumbled. I spent a week gluing it back together, and my painstaking efforts paid off. There are only a few visable cracks left. I think it was worth the effort.
