Description from the seller
Fascination of the Sea for Your Home – A Sculpture of Nature
Bring the exclusive magic of the deep sea into your living spaces. This original Astraea undosa (also known as the Wavy Turban Snail or Megastraea undosa) impresses with its striking presence and handpicked quality.
In elaborate handwork, the outer calcareous layer of this shell was delicately removed and highly polished. This reveals the underlying, deeply hidden secret of nature: an astonishing, intensely iridescent nacre layer that refracts light from every angle and glows in soft rainbow colors.
Product Details & Highlights:
Type: Genuine Astraea undosa (spinning/turbant snail)
Dimensions: Impressive diameter of about 10–11 cm and a height of about 7 cm – a true showpiece of this size.
Finishing: Expertly polished for maximum nacre shine and a pleasantly smooth feel.
One-of-a-kind Guarantee: As this is a pure natural product, each shell, in its exact spiral, structure, and color nuance, is an absolute unique piece.
Sale and shipping via DHL only within the EU
