Description from the seller

Stunning shell with mother-of-pearl from the species Turbo Sarmaticum, originating from Madagascar.
This top-quality shell is huge for the species.
Its outer shell has been polished to highlight the fantastic colors of mother-of-pearl.
Alternation of orange and brown colors creates fantastic designs on mother-of-pearl, highlighting its rainbow-like iridescence.

Seller's Story

The Mineral Art Gallery offers minerals, fossils, shells and natural elements. Born in Italy in 2017, today she collaborates with international galleries and collectors, she is a direct importer of large minerals and naturalistic collectible elements; deals with the processing to insert them inside the living space. A section of the gallery was dedicated to the Wunderkammer, "chamber of wonders or cabinet of curiosities" in which Mirabilia elements are presented: naturalia and italiania, a union between "the present is the past". All lots are shipped via DHL Express and Fercam couriers, with insured parcel and tracking.
