 "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 - This large, colorful Mako comes from Peru.  There is a small area of repair on the front of the blade (right side, near root), where a piece of beige/amber enamel was glued in to replace some of the tooth's enamel.  Other than that, the tooth is beautiful.  The enamel surface is very glossy, due to polishing.  The color is very difficult to explain.  Under the darker colors are undertones of blue and pink that help to create an almost purple appearance in some lighting.
