Is this suitable for a 5 year old?

Yes . I bought it for my granddaughter who has added it to her collection and happily plays with it. This is more of a " collector"s item " than a " toy. " Obviously nothing has a health and safety 100% guarantee unless handled responsibly . Instructions to child on safety issues possibly. But no so called " safe" toy is completely exempt from potential mishandling.

Could it be used for a necklace?

Yes it can, provided that you get a mounting or wire wrapping for it (or drill a small hole towards the end). The tooth is being sold as is (just the tooth alone).

Incredible fossil

I'm really impressed with this fossil and can't wait to see my son's face when he gets it. Beautiful packaging, with a really delicate note that make is feel really special. I'm not sure if this fossil is real as the price is way low that it should be. It looks amazing, bigger than I expected and totally worth it. I will be buying more for those Dino lovers to keep as a little treasure.

Don't get it wet! Quite fragile.

I bought this for my dino-loving little girl to discover in her sand pit. It came in a nice little box with details about the fossil and was a good size as described. I noticed it had a couple of lines through it as if it had previously cracked and been glued back together - if so it was nearly done and it looked the part. However when my little girl washed it, the tooth split along those cracks and there was some white gluey stuff showing. When I tried to wipe that, thinking I'd re-glue it, loads of fragments crumbled off it so it was just destroyed. Clearly, my mistake in not looking after it properly, but I'd say it is not really strong enough for younger kids.
