"Diffused" lighting was used for these photos, to reduce glare and better show color and detail.  The tooth's enamel will appear more glossy in person, than it does in the photos.

Description - I know, it's not quite 2 inches, but it's about as close as you can get.  With color like this though, it doesn't matter how big it is.  If I were naming this tooth, I'd call it "golden sunset".  There is definite blue in the blade, something that is generally much more subtle.  There is the typical minor damage/smoothing of the tip and blade edges.  And there's a bit of surface erosion/damage, especially the left root tip, but don't get the wrong idea.  That left root tip has very little damage.  It's supposed to be significantly shorter than the right.  These lowers are extremely difficult to come by in decent condition and this one is among the best.
