Shark Tooth specimens, though not traditional minerals, are considered pseudofossils, preserved remnants of once-living sharks transformed by geological forces into ancient relics. These teeth, often dating back millions of years, are made predominantly of dentin and enamel, but fossilization can replace original material with minerals like calcite, silica, or ironstone, embedding the tooth with the alchemy of the Earth. Over millennia, they become crystallized echoes of ancient waters, holding the stories of primordial survival.
Shark Teeth are found in coastal sediments, riverbeds, and marine fossil layers across Florida, Morocco, South Carolina, Australia, and Madagascar, these teeth are treasured for their rarity and the sacred timeline they represent. In Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures, they were worn as talismans for of strength, protection, and courage, symbols of spiritual warriors. These ancient peoples believed the mana, or spiritual power, of the shark could be transferred through its tooth, guarding the wearer against spiritual attack and physical harm. In spiritual folklore, the shark was seen as a totem of fearlessness, adaptability, and relentless forward motion, making the tooth a divine charm for those undergoing transformation.
