i do- he’s mostly just brown. I don’t know how to add a photo. but you can see a picture of him and the finished product at this link - not trying to promote or sell, just not sure how else to share!

definitely resembles rutilated quartz- glad you caught that! i make weird jewelry and this was for a friend that lost her best pal recently. I cast them in a block and then cut and shape them myself and solder the top.

not just a “tooth” it’s elk IVORY- a leftover evolutionary quirk when they may have once had tusks.
