Price shown per shell

Shell size: 6-7cm.

Selected natural conch shells from approved sources for creative craft. This is one of our most popular shells for interior and exterior decoration.

Background: 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.

Conch Shells in History: In many societies large conch shells were used as paint and ink holders for scribes, they were also fashioned into bugles and hand weapons.

Ecological Note: The pink Queen Conch (Strombus gigas) is included on CITES list of endangered species. These shells are often sold whole or as jewellery to tourists in the Caribbean but constitute one of the most frequently confiscated items by UK customs.

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

Import / Export Identification: Strombus
