Great white sharks are also the only sharks that have almost perfect isosceles triangular teeth with saw indents up both sides. If you posted a picture I would be able to tell you what kind of shark the tooth came from. Let me know if I can help so you don't get ripped off.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well your not going to find a great white tooth smaller than an inch long, unless it was a baby tooth.

It all depends on the shape of the tooth, the size, the color, the wear, and whether it came from the front or the back of the jaw. I've looked at them on ebay before and it's really a gamble. Some look authentic, some look questionable. I wouldn't expect to get one (including the necklace and setting) for less than $75-100 thats worth anything. Just a nice great white shark tooth on its own (not in a necklace) can be $100 or more. And, if you can, try to purchase from someone who dives for the teeth or finds them on beaches. Sharks are quickly disappearing from our oceans because of overfishing and exploitation. They really are beautiful animals who (depsite their bad reputation) deserve to live and to be protected. :)<br><b>References : </b><br>Shark enthusiast (went on a great white shark dive last summer!)
