 "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 don't like offering repaired teeth for sale, but this one has to be an exception.  These creamy, light colored teeth are rare and ones with peachy/pink hues are even more rare.  Unfortunately, the light teeth are often more fragile.  That, plus the fact that they come from harder matrix, means they are often broken during excavation, as was this one.  The right side of the root was broken off and re-attached.  Other than that, this tooth is in surprisingly good condition, with only slight smoothing of the tip and blade edges, as well as a very minor ding here or there.  At over 2 1/4", this beautiful tooth is well worth the asking price.
