AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Compact, slender, upper front tooth of a mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus), measuring 42.5 mm, is a small concentration of marine perfection. The curved and tapered shape is typical of mako sharks: smooth edges, shiny surface, a thin, pointed tip, ready to strike with precision.
The mako shark, one of the fastest animals in the ocean, is equipped with a dentition designed for sharp penetration. It does not tear, it cuts. Its front teeth, long and curved, are used to catch fast prey in full sprint, such as tuna and swordfish. This specimen, despite its modest size, retains the full functional elegance of the species.
The enameled crown shines naturally, while the root retains the porous structures that testify to the tooth's original vitality. Every detail is intact, making it perfect for collection, study, or transformation into a symbolic jewelry piece.
A small fragment of ocean, sharp as the quick thinking of those who know how to seize the moment.
Seller's Story
The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements.
Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past".
All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
