Description from the seller
DTD SHOP offers you this magnificent specimen of a seashell: the nacreous nautilus shell, also known as Nautilus pompilius.
The nacreous nautilus is a fascinating mollusk, a symbol of natural perfection. This spiral-shaped shell with a logarithmic spiral features a smooth shell covered in iridescent nacre that catches light from different angles, creating reflections in soft, shimmering hues. Its internal structure is just as remarkable, consisting of chambers that are perfectly segmented, in which the nautilus adjusts its gas volume to float or dive at will. This spiral arrangement testifies to progressive and harmonious growth, a reflection of the mathematical order present in nature. Often referred to as a living fossil, the nautilus belongs to a family older than 500 million years, making it a precious witness to marine evolution. Its delicate appearance and subtle patterns make it a contemplative object for sea lovers and a symbol of timeless natural beauty.
- Dimensions: photos.
- Weight: about 190 grams.
