Description from the seller
Not every Megalodon tooth stands out for its size; some grab all attention with their exceptional color. This is such an specimen. It is 8.6 cm tall.
This Otodus megalodon from Sukabumi features a rare green-blue enamel that changes from deep olive green to bluish grey depending on the light. Just above the root runs a natural golden mineralization band, giving the crown a striking color gradient that you encounter only sporadically. It is precisely this combination that makes the tooth instantly recognizable and beloved by collectors of exceptional color variants.
The crown has a strong, near-perfect symmetrical shape with an elegant tip. The fine serrations run beautifully along both cutting edges, giving the tooth a sharp, refined look. The enamel has a handsome natural luster in which the original growth lines remain subtly visible, adding extra character to the fossil.
The robust gray fossilized root forms a beautiful contrast with the intensely colored crown. The combination of cool gray, green-blue enamel, and the warm golden band creates a color play that is rarely so harmoniously found among Sukabumi specimens.
Where many Megalodon teeth impress with their size, this specimen stands out precisely for its aesthetics. The distinctive color scheme, the strong contrast between crown and root, and the refined details make this a tooth that is not only a fossil but also an eye-catching display piece. For collectors seeking a Megalodon with its own character and a color not often encountered, this is a particularly attractive specimen.
