I love adding natural shells to bowls, bookshelves, and little collected moments around the house. Each one has its own markings, and the tortoise pattern gives it far more personality than a basic white shell.

DESCRIPTION

The Natural Tortoise Cowrie Shell brings organic pattern, sculptural shape, and a collected coastal touch to your home.

Known scientifically as Cypraea testudinaria, this naturally beautiful cowrie features distinctive tortoise-inspired markings in warm brown, cream, and neutral tones. Measuring approximately 4 inches long, it is substantial enough to display on its own or incorporate into a decorative bowl, tabletop arrangement, bookshelf, or curiosity cabinet.

These shells are not specimen grade, making them a more affordable way to enjoy the beauty and character of a large natural cowrie. Because each shell is created by nature, variations in color, pattern, shape, surface texture, and small imperfections should be expected.

One individual shell is included with each order.
