Description from the seller
This beautiful natural shell of the species Murex Ramosus has undergone a galvanizing process that covered its surface with a brilliant silver sheen. The result is a fascinating meeting between nature and precious metal, transforming a marine relic into a unique and contemporary design object.
The complex and jagged shapes typical of Murex are enhanced by the shine of the metallic coating, highlighting the organic lines with elegant and modern reflections. Each specimen is different, since each shell is unique in shape and size: this makes every piece unrepeatable and authentic.
Perfect as a collectible object, decorative element for sophisticated environments, or as a refined gift idea, this object blends natural aesthetics and artisanal craftsmanship in a union of strong visual impact.
Characteristics:
Species: Chicoreus Ramosus (Murex Ramosus)
Material: Natural shell with galvanic silver coating
Technique: Electrolytic bath (galvanization)
Use: Collecting, decoration, gift, artistic ornament
Origin of the shell: Indo-Pacific Ocean
Measures: 142*110*100 mm
