Glass Minnow

I was at Harbor Freight yesterday and saw a tumbler, one used to polish rocks. There are several types of media one being plastic. Anyone tried to clean/polish shark teeth with one?

Sounds like a way to break and damage a tooth. I would not do it.
Just put tooth in a jar with some dilute vinegar. Wait a little bit. Then all the stuff adhered to it easily comes off. At least that works for NC teeth. Would expect the same for FL teeth.

As a suggestion from Florida West I put a Mammoth tooth in the toilet tank for a few months taking it out and picking at it every now and then. Worked great just took along time, but I was in no hurry. Now it is in a display on the coffee table. I am sure the vinegar will work a lot faster.
Do not tumble. You can also use white vinegar cut 50/50 with water. No vinegar on mammoth teeth as it may case them to break up.
