 "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 - Are you as amazed as I was?  It's hard to believe that this huge tooth survived without significant damage to the narrow blade tip or root tips.  There is very slight damage to the root tips, as you would expect, and some smoothing of the blade tip and edges.  Overall though, this tooth is in excellent condition, compared to what you would expect.  The color contrast between tan/rust root and light blue/gray blade is appealing, as are the colorful markings of the blade, especially near the tip.
