All of our shells are real & unique. The majority of the shells we sell are intended for crafting purposes & are not specimens (unless otherwise specified); meaning that most will show evidence of their lives in calcium build up, growth marks, chipped tips or apertures, etc. WE DO NOT SELL “PERFECT” SHELLS—our shells are natural, beautiful, & imperfect.
