THE STORY
A beautiful large conch shell with custom stand. The spiral shape of the shell is formed as the conch grows. The animal lives within the shell and continuously adds new material to the opening, causing the shell to spiral outward. Conch shells typically have a sturdy and often quite large spiral structure. The outer surface can be smooth or have distinct ridges, and the inside often displays beautiful pearly colors, especially in the mother-of-pearl layer.
