Additional Information

Detailed Description: Dentalium are small tusk shaped univalve mollusks. These little shells were used for adornment as well as money amongst Pacific coastal tribes. Most Dentalium available in today's bead and jewelry market is imported from Asia. This Asian Dentalium is more brittle than the Dentalium originally used by Native tribes.
