Is this a fossilized tooth?!

This one isn't a fossil tooth, but looks to be geologic in origin. I am not sure what type of mineral it is.

Sorry, no. It appears to be a metamorphic rock

If you look closely at your pictures, you can see a crystalline structure. Teeth don’t have such properties, instead, they have enamel.

I can’t seem to observe any obvious lamellation and / or banding that would suggest a rock of metamorphic origin. To me, this looks a crystalline igneous rock, with the lightish colour suggesting a granitic type.

Thank you all for your responses and help. When I find out for sure what rock it is I will update you all.
