Selected natural murex shells from approved sources for crafts and interior/exterior decoration.

Background : Thorny thistles are murex shells which form a group group of medium to large sized carniverous tropical sea snails. Many of the species are found in Indo-Pacific waters in intertidal zones among rocks.

Murex in History: The word Murex was used by ancient Greeks which makes it one of the oldest shell names still used today.
The dye often called “Royal Purple” was made from the mucus of selected species of Murex. This costly dye was used for royal and ceremomial robes.

Safety Information: not suitable for children under 36 months as the shells may present a choking hazard.
