117 g Sperm Whale Tooth – CITES Documented

A beautiful 117-gram Sperm Whale tooth with the natural form and character that make genuine whale teeth highly sought after by collectors of maritime history, natural history, and scrimshaw.

This substantial specimen displays the classic elongated, gently tapered form of a Sperm Whale tooth, with a smooth surface and natural ivory coloration. Its compact size makes it particularly suitable for collectors who appreciate authentic whale teeth but prefer a piece that can be easily handled, displayed, or incorporated into a specialized collection.

This 117 g Sperm Whale Tooth retains its natural character, including subtle variations in color and surface texture developed over time. The warm ivory tones give the piece an attractive vintage appearance, while the naturally curved profile provides an elegant sculptural quality even without extensive decoration.

At 117 grams, this is a nicely proportioned specimen with enough size and substance to make an attractive display piece. It could be presented individually or alongside other whale teeth to illustrate the considerable variation in size, shape, coloration, and character found among individual specimens.
