New Mexico Shark's teeth
Went tooth hunting last week NW of Albuquerque and found these babies. My first ever 8) Anyway, I took the big tooth to a Native American silversmith to see if he could build a sort of silver wire cage around the tooth to turn it into a pendant. Anyway, I think the tooth has to be sealed in some way to protect it and keep it from breaking first. Any ideas. I know nothing about preserving stuff like this. Also a fellow offered me $200 for the big tooth. The big tooth is almost 2" long. Are these things worth that kind of money? Thanks.
