Symbolism:
Shark tooth fossil: Talisman of protection, strength and masculinity. Increases survival instincts and primal knowing. Promotes self-confidence, self-trust and self-acceptance. Attracts good fortune and affluence. Honors the sea and one’s ancestors. Supports your ability to transform and grow by encouraging being receptive to new ideas.

Material Properties:
Shark tooth fossil: Most often composed of silica and quartz. Hundreds of thousands to millions of years old. Color of the fossil is determined by the sediment the tooth was preserved in. Iron rich sediment produce reddish-brown fossils; phosphate rich sediment produces black fossils.
**Ethical sourcing**: 25% of sharks are endangered due to human activity. I only use fossilized teeth in my work. Modern (white) shark teeth encourage poaching. Even if you are able to somehow guarantee that your white tooth is sourced from a shark that died of natural causes, interest creates demand. Demand leads to an increase in prices, and higher prices lead to poaching.
