Beautiful heavy conch shells with a striking pink or orange/ pink interior lip Our Clients utilise these natural shells for crafts and both interior and exterior decoration.

These shells are particularly suited to introducing young hands to natural shells as they have a smooth surface and no sharp edges or points.

True conch species are salt water snails which vary in size from small to very large.

Most species live on warm sandy bottoms in tropical waters in Indo-Pacific Oceans, and many are economically important as food sources. The animal inside the shell is eaten, either raw like oysters, steamed or stir fried. All parts of the conch meat are edible. However, most people only find the white meat appetising.

In Mayan art large conches were used as paint and ink holders for scribes, as bugles and hand weapons.

ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions.
