 "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 - It's not quite 2", but the color makes up for it.  LOOK at the second photo (below).  At first glance it may seem gray, but there are buried tones of tan, blue and pink, creating a purple or lavender look, especially on the back of the blade.  The mid-line stress crack extends the length of the back, but does not extend all the way to the tip on the front.  There are multiple small nicks in the lower half of the right blade edge (left in reverse photo), almost giving the impression of serrations.  I might consider taking less for this tooth, if I had a good supply of Peruvian teeth, but it's not easy to get teeth from there that are colorful and not badly damaged and/or polished.
