Polished Sperm Whale Tooth Ivory – 470g | Pre-1978 | Exportable |
Cheynes Beach Whaling Station, Albany, WA

Offered for sale is a cleaned and polished sperm whale tooth, weighing an impressive 470 grams and measuring 17 cm in length. This genuine sperm whale ivory specimen originates from the historic Cheynes Beach Whaling Station in Albany, Western Australia, and was lawfully obtained pre-1978, prior to the international ban on commercial whaling.

This legally sourced and exportable piece of whale tooth ivory showcases the natural beauty and historical significance of traditional sperm whale ivory. It is in excellent condition, making it ideal for collectors, artisans, and those interested in scrimshaw, ivory carving, or marine heritage.

A Rare and Valuable Collectible

This exceptional piece of sperm whale ivory is suitable for a variety of uses including:

• Sperm whale tooth for carving – prized for its dense, workable texture

• Sperm whale tooth for scrimshaw – a traditional medium for nautical artwork

• Maritime collections and displays

• Historical or educational use

With increased restrictions on the sale and trade of modern whale ivory, legally sourced pre-1978 sperm whale teeth for sale like this one are becoming increasingly rare. Many collectors and buyers frequently ask: “How much does sperm whale teeth cost?” or inquire about the cost price of a sperm whale tooth. The answer depends greatly on size, condition, and provenance – and this tooth, at 470g and in polished condition, represents top-tier quality and authenticity.

Why This Sperm Whale Tooth Stands Out:

• High weight and size – 470g, 17cm length

• Legally sourced and exportable – compliant with international trade laws

• Excellent condition – fully cleaned and polished

• Directly from a known whaling station – Cheynes Beach, Albany WA

If you’re in the market for genuine sperm whale teeth for sale, whether for collecting, crafting, or scrimshaw art, this item is a standout choice.
